Lent 2025

Finding Awe

I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house;
I will bow down toward your holy temple in awe of you.
– Psalm 5:7

Awe is a profound emotional response that can significantly impact our wellbeing and perception of the world. Awe often arises from experiences that transcend our usual understanding, such as viewing vast landscapes, listening to powerful music, encountering extraordinary acts of kindness, or feeling heightened devotion and a Divine Presence.

During this season of Lent we are invited to be intentional about cultivating a life of spiritual depth.

LENT DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

The Hardest Part

Many of our Sunday Schools Classes are embarking upon a single journey throughout the Season of Lent. The Hardest Part, by Kate Bowler offers the opportunity to find ourselves on the same page of scripture and as recipients of the same blessings. 

Life is this strange, tender mix, isn’t it? Joy and sorrow, love and loss, heartbreak and hope, all tangled together. This year, we invite you to embrace Lent as it is—raw, honest, and tender. This is the season that asks us to stop pretending we’re holding it all together. It’s a time to pause, sit with what’s fragile and unfinished, and let God meet us in the hardest parts of our lives.
