Reflect. Repent. Rejoice.
This Easter, we gather to remember what matters most—the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Come reflect on sacrifice, repent of what holds you back, and rejoice in the hope that changes everything.
What is Lent?
Lent is an ancient church practice designed for reflection and repentance. The Lenten season is a 40-day period, excluding Sundays, to prepare for the commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus on Easter.
During this period, one of the spiritual disciplines we focus on is fasting — in order to clear some of life’s distractions and give our full attention to Jesus.
This year, Lent began on Ash Wednesday: Feb 18, 2026.
