Lent is a time of preparation for Easter – when God rescued and redeemed His children through Jesus’ suffering, death, and victory. It begins on Ash Wednesday on February 18 and leads us on a 40-day journey toward Easter Sunday on April 5.

While Easter is widely celebrated, many of us have never set aside time to observe the entire season of Lent. Yet, this season offers us a profound opportunity to slow down, examine our hearts, and remember our dependence on God’s mercy. Each day, we are invited to direct our attention to the only thing that truly satisfies our deepest longings – Jesus Christ. 

As we do each Lent, our church family will gather to observe Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. We hope that you will join us.

Easter Sunday

This Easter Sunday, we'll gather outdoors in Avondale Park's amphitheater for two services at 8:00 and 10:00 AM. We hope you join us as we praise our Risen King.

  • If you haven't been to the amphitheater before, it is a terraced area in the back of Avondale Park near the lake. The seating area is mostly grass and will likely be damp, so we encourage you to bring camping chairs or a thick blanket.

  • The park has limited parking availability, and we expect it to fill quickly. It is only a block from the church, so parking in our lots is an easy option. If you plan on parking in the neighborhood surrounding the park, please respect driveways. 

  • As usual, children are welcome in our services. Our Children's Ministry will have registered children’s programming (registration opening soon) during the 8 AM service. If you have registered your children for classes, please drop them off at the church before walking to the park.

Sound & Season

Our Sound & Season podcast is returning! Join us starting on Ash Wednesday, February 18, as we begin our six-week study of the Covenant Promises of God. Over the forty days of Lent, we will reflect on the covenants we find throughout the Scriptures to ready our hearts and minds for the irrevocable brilliance of Resurrection Sunday.

In keeping Lent together, we will number our days, forty days of fasting and reflecting on God’s Word, six days of feasting, remembering each Sunday that the victory is now ours in Christ. Every week, we will contemplate a covenant from God, culminating in the New Covenant established in the body and blood of Christ.

You can find them on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
