Lent 2025
March 5 - April 17
Ash Wednesday Service Maarch 5 at 7pm:
We will join together in remembering that from dust we have been made and to dust, we will return.
Weekly 24h Fasting:
Starting March 11th, every Tuesday to Wednesday evening, we'll fast on water alone for 24 hours. This helps us empathize with those who suffer and reminds us of our dual nature, both body and soul. Instead of focusing on food for our body, we dedicate extra time to connecting with God and His guidance for our soul.
Lent Prayer Nights:
Wednesday evenings we will come together for a one-hour night of prayer and worship at 7pm in the sanctuary as we break our fasts together.
Weekly Lent Devotionals:
We are releasing a weekly prayer podcast throughout the season of Lent (daily during Holy Week) designed to guide you through repentance and restoration in Christ. We hope these podcasts will be a tool that will guide you into prayer as you begin and end each day.
​
Good Friday interactive service April 18th at 7pm:
We will gather together for an hour-long interactive prayer and worship service inspired by the stations of the cross. There will be nursery provided only as the prayer exercises will be designed to include and teach all ages of our community.
​
Easter Sunday Worship Services on April 20 at 10:30 am:
The season of Lent concludes with Holy Saturday, giving way to resurrection celebration on Easter Sunday, when followers of Jesus celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We rejoice in Jesus’ power over death and the hope of all things made new. Gather with us as we worship and celebrate.
What is Lent?
Lent is a sacred season in the Christian tradition, a 40-day journey (excluding Sundays) leading up to Easter. It is a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal, inspired by Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and prayer in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). During this season, believers often choose to fast or give up certain comforts as a way of drawing closer to God.
​
The journey begins on Ash Wednesday, when many receive ashes on their foreheads—a symbol of our mortality and need for God’s grace. This marks a time of turning our hearts toward repentance and dependence on Christ.
​
But Lent is not only about fasting—it is about hope. It prepares us for the joy of Easter, beginning with Holy Week and culminating in the celebration of Resurrection Sunday. On Easter morning, Christians around the world rejoice in Jesus' victory over sin and death, a powerful reminder of God’s promise of redemption and new life.
​
Lent invites us to slow down, to reflect on our need for salvation, and to prepare our hearts for the resurrection hope found in Christ. It is a season of surrender, but ultimately, it leads us into the joy and renewal of Easter morning.
