Lent 2026: Events, Classes & Groups

Ash Wednesday

Wednesday, February 18
Noon Traditional Service in the Chapel

6:30 p.m. Traditional Service in the Sanctuary
All are invited to begin the holy season of Lent and our journey to Easter with this service of prayer and reflection. Ashes on the forehead are a sign of our humanity and a reminder of our mortality, as well as our faith in divine grace and forgiveness.

Following the service in the chapel at noon, we will be offering a soup lunch in Fellowship Hall. All are welcome!

Moments that Matter: Decisions on the Way to the Cross

Lent Devotionals are Available in Print & Email

This Lent, we walk with Jesus through the defining choices that shaped his journey to the cross — choices of trust, compassion, courage, and love. Each week invites us to reflect on the moments that matter in our own lives, where discernment meets decision and faith takes form. We’ll discover how following Christ’s way transforms the choices we make and the lives we lead. Lenten Daily Devotionals are available as a printed booklet at the church starting Wednesday, February 11, while supplies last.  

Lenten Life Groups

Starting February 25 at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall
This Lent, step into a Lenten Life Group, meeting for five weeks beginning February 25, and join others in an engaged, thoughtful exploration of faith. Together, we will explore the theme Moments that Matter, engaging scripture and weekly reflections as we consider how small, faithful choices shape a life of discipleship. These groups are built for lively conversation, shared discovery, and learning together as we wrestle with the questions that shape our lives. Life Groups are a place to bring curiosity, listen deeply, and be stretched by perspectives beyond your own. No preparation is required, just a willingness to show up and engage.
