Lent and Holy Week 2026
During Lent and Holy Week, we gather for special services of worship, reflection, and prayer as we follow the events of the Christian calendar. Lent—the weeks leading up to Good Friday and Easter—is a time of spiritual discipline in preparation and anticipation of Easter. Holy Week marks the final days before Easter, the central event of the Christian faith.
Following the contemplative season of Lent, Holy Week includes multiple services marking each of Jesus' last days through worship and remembrance. Explore the schedule below and join us as we prepare our hearts to celebrate Christ's resurrection.
Ash Wednesday
Wednesday, February 18, 6 pm supper, 7 pm service

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a time of preparation for Easter. We gather for a potluck soup supper at 6pm and a brief service at 7pm. In this service, we reflect on our mortality and need for God's grace, including marking our foreheads with ashes as a sign of repentance and humility before God.
Lent
Sunday worship services, February 22 - March 22

Lent is not celebrated on one day; it is a 40-day season (not counting Sundays) of reflection, repentance, preparation, and anticipation of Easter. Traditionally many Christians have spent this time in specific spiritual disciplines like fasting, but it is not required.
Palm Sunday

During this Sunday morning service, we remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. In humility, he rode on a donkey, while all the people shouted their praise.
Good Friday
Friday, April 18

On Friday evening, we gather in a thoughtful service of song and scripture to remember Jesus' death and its significance for us.
Holy Saturday

Also known as the Easter vigil, we gather together in the time of waiting between Jesus' death and his resurrection, leaning into both the sadness of grief and the expectation of joy.

We worship together in an all-out celebration of Jesus' resurrection, his victory over death, and all this means for us.
We share a potluck brunch after the service. All are welcome (whether you have food to share or not!)
