The Season of Lent

Lent 2026: In The Guise of a Stranger

Our Lenten sermon series invites us to recognize Christ in unexpected faces and places. Jesus tells us plainly where to find him: in the hungry and thirsty, the sick and imprisoned, the refugee and the forgotten. And yet, like the Disciples on the road to Emmaus, we can often miss him walking right beside us. This Lent, we’ll engage with scriptures, stories, and prayers to explore how God shows up in unexpected guises. 
 

Being the Beloved Community: All Church Lenten Discussion Groups

Lent is a call to connect and align ourselves with the radical, all-encompassing love that Jesus embodied. This Lent, we invite you to build relationships and deepen connections through weekly small group discussions, facilitated by the Membership committee. Consider joining for the whole series, or simply pop in when you're able! All are welcome - come as you are - come when you can!  We'll be offering these small group conversations throughout Lent at Community Hour (2/22-3/29, except 3/1), Thursday Night Supper Club, and in our Online Small Group. 

Prayer Installation in Gordon Chapel

Throughout Lent, there is a community art project in the Chapel. All week, people write prayers on small slips of paper in the sanctuary. We will hang these prayers in the chapel, allowing our whole community to lift those prayers to God as we worship throughout Lent. During worship services and coffee hours, we invite you to add your prayers by clipping them to the twine on the columns in the chapel.
