I once heard it said that a faithful Christian life looks like holding the grief of crucifixion in one hand and the hope of resurrection in the other. Those of us who apprentice under Jesus find ourselves constantly in the tension between the hope of God's promises and the sometimes painful realities around us and around the world.

Lent is a season to embrace the grief and the gratitude of our lives. It is a time for fasting, reflection, repentance, and lament, all of which is worship unto God, given in the spirit of gratitude. In the Creation narrative in Genesis, we see God form humans from the dust and breathe his Spirit into them to give them life. We quickly learn that apart from his presence, we are but dust, but with his Spirit, we are fully alive. We are dust and breath. 

Join us during this Lenten season as we create space for the tension between grief and gratitude in our teaching series, Dust and Breath.

Fasting guide

In fasting, we exchange indulgence for holiness. We set aside something that will be missed to be reminded of what we truly need and pick up practices of spiritual formation to turn towards the transformative love of Jesus.

Pick one or two options from this list for Lent. Display this sheet where you can view it daily as a reminder of your commitment in this season. We encourage you to connect with a healthcare professional before making dietary changes.

Join us for Holy Week & Easter to experience and
celebrate the hope, peace, and victory found in Jesus!

If you’re looking for a place to attend a special service for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, we would love for you to celebrate with us! This week leading up to Easter Sunday is one of our favorite times of the year, as we give God glory for the resurrection of Jesus and remember His victory over death. It gives us great hope for the future!

We encourage you to invite your family and friends to attend and register early to get the preferred time you’d all attend together!
