Forgiveness Sunday at Central Baptist Church
An Annual Celebration of Love, Redemption, and Community
Welcome to Forgiveness Sunday at Central Baptist Church, where we gather as a community to commemorate and embrace the power of forgiveness, love, and redemption.
As a faith-based organization, Central Baptist Church firmly believes in the significance of forgiveness. Forgiveness Sunday holds a special place in our hearts as we come together to reflect on the teachings of Christ, seek forgiveness from one another, and experience the transformative power of God's grace.
The Meaning of Forgiveness Sunday
Forgiveness Sunday, also known as Cheesefare Sunday or Sunday of Forgiveness, marks the beginning of the Great Lent season in the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith. It precedes the 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and repentance leading up to Easter.
On this day, we cultivate a spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation, acknowledging our own shortcomings and seeking forgiveness from others. It is a time to mend relationships, heal wounds, and embrace the transformative power of forgiveness that leads us closer to God.
