Lent 2026
As winter progresses and we look forward to spring… the season of Lent is approaching!
Ash Wednesday is on February 18th this year. Students will start the day by gathering for chapel at 8:15 am, and, as always, parents and church families are invited to join.
Ash Wednesday worship with the Imposition of Ashes will be at 10 am and 6:30 pm that day.
Wednesday evening worship will continue throughout Lent, with a short service each Wednesday of Lent at 6:30 pm. These will be times of intentional worship and contemplation as we take the time to slow down and reflect on Christ’s sacrifice during the march toward Holy Week and Easter.
Save the date for the other upcoming Holy Week events:
- Palm Sunday is on March 29th
- The Demonstration Seder Meal will be on Tuesday, March 31st
- Maundy Thursday is on April 2nd
- Good Friday is on April 3rd
- Easter is on April 5th
