Each year, the church invites us into the 40-day season of Lent, a journey that leads us to the celebration of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. Lent began with Ash Wednesday on February 18th. This season calls us into intentional discipleship through confession, repentance, sacrifice, and renewed focus on Jesus’ death on the cross. Traditionally, the church practices fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, walking these rhythms together as a community.

We invite you to journey through Lent together through a scripture reading plan, corporate fasting, almsgiving, Wednesday soup suppers and Real Presence worship services, and spiritual companionship. For more information about these practices and services, check out our webpage, linked below. 

We look forward to how God will meet us through these shared practices. May His grace and love transform us as we seek Him anew this Lent.

During the Lenten Season, join us for a light soup supper on Wednesday evenings, followed by a time of prayer and communion.

We are still looking for volunteers to provide soup and bread to feed 15-20 people. If you feel this is a way you can serve, please sign up below.
