Lent invites us to dive deep into our faith. We hope you'll join us for some of our many Lenten offerings. See details below.
LENTEN SERMON SERIES
Sundays, at 8:30 &11am​
Lent is the Church’s great season of preparation—a journey toward the waters of baptism and the joy of Easter renewal. This Lent, we walk the ancient baptismal path together. Those preparing for baptism will be formed and strengthened. Those already baptized will be invited to renew their promises and remember the grace that first claimed them. Through prayer, reflection, and worship, we turn away from what diminishes life, receive living water, see with new eyes, and rise with Christ into resurrection joy. Our journey culminates at the Easter Vigil, where death is undone, hope is proclaimed, and new life begins again.
