Lenten Schedule 2026

Jesus and His disciples grew up observing the festivals established by God and His people of old. Join us this Lent as we take a closer look at those festivals, see how Jesus fulfilled each, and learn how each informs our life of faith today. Our theme is “Jesus in the Old Testament: The Festivals of God’s People of Old.” Below is our schedule of services.

Dinners will be served in the multi-purpose room the five Wednesdays after Ash Wednesday (5:15-6:30pm). See the Calendar for specific dates. Donations will be accepted. All are welcome.

Ash Wednesday • February 18 • 7:00pm

Join us as we begin our 40-day journey to the cross with a solemn Divine Service. This service begins with the imposition of ashes, features Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount, and ends with the Lord’s Supper. The sermon will explore Jesus’ words regarding almsgiving, prayer, and fasting, even as it washes away the ashes of our sinfulness with HIs forgiveness and reclothes us with His righteousness.

For those who cannot make the evening service, come into the sanctuary for Scripture, prayer, and ashes any time between Noon and 1:00pm.

Wednesday Services • March 12 to April 9 • 7:00pm

Join us for these 45-minute candlelight Evening Prayer services, filled with Scripture, prayer, and song. The sermons will explore five of the penitential psalms coupled with the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Each will deliver Christ’s forgiveness and fill us with the joy of His salvation.
