The following are a few other ways to make the season meaningful:

Ash Wednesday Service

Watch the replay here

“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return."

Join us as we observe the start of Lent. Ash Wednesday is a day to remember our frailty and our finitude as we look to a strong and everlasting God to save us. Come worship and receive ashes to mark the start of the lenten season.

Lenten Practices

You may choose to incorporate a few of these common and meaningful Lenten practices into your routine this season.

Fasting or Self-Denial

You probably have heard someone talk about “giving up something for Lent.” The point isn’t just to stop eating chocolate; it’s to arrange our lives more faithfully around Jesus. There are many exhortations in Scripture to “put off” and “put on” certain things that help you live more faithfully for Jesus (e.g. Ephesians 4:22-24). Ask yourself, “What will I stop doing this season because I am a beloved child of God? And What will I start doing because God loves me in Christ?” Giving up something is not a way to “earn” anything from God, but rather a way to learn to curb your appetites and focus more completely on Jesus as your true source of life and stability.

Prayer and Self-Reflection

Read over the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ arrest, trial and crucifixion. Reflect on his suffering and the infinite love He has for you. Reflect on your own sin and what it cost Jesus to forgive it. Create a new or different habit of prayer. Ask a trusted friend to share honestly with you about your sin and character flaws. Take a personal retreat. Use a resource below to do some reflection on Jesus and his grace. Lent is a great time to do some spiritual “house cleaning.”

Practice Community

Lent isn’t just about personal renewal, it’s also about community renewal. Jesus makes a new community through his death and resurrection. Pray for our community and spend time together talking and praying about what new thing God is calling us to do and be.
