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
As winter gradually yields to the budding promise of spring, we warmly invite you to join us on a journey during Lent—the forty days leading up to Easter. This season is more than giving up chocolate or scrolling—it’s about exploring deeper questions: What sustains us? What are we truly thirsting for? What gives life? This year’s theme, Living Water: Quenching a Deeper Thirst, invites us to discover what it means to be renewed. Like travelers seeking springs in the desert, we journey through this season asking honest questions, exploring ancient wisdom, and walking alongside others who are preparing for baptism—a ritual of going under water and emerging changed. Lent draws us to the water—to wells where people throughout history have sought what sustains them, to stories of Jesus offering “living water” to the thirsty, to the practice of baptism where we mark new beginnings. It’s a season to pause and ask: What are we really looking for? What nourishes us at the deepest level? What will we need for the road ahead? Whether you’re new to this journey or have walked it many times, whether you’re a person of faith or simply curious, you’re welcome here.
