Lent and Holy Week at Faith Presbyterian Church
Lent is the Christian season of spiritual preparation before Easter. In Western churches, it begins on Ash Wednesday. During Lent, many Christians observe a period of fasting, repentance, moderation, self-denial, and spiritual discipline. The purpose of the Lenten season is to set aside time for reflection on Jesus Christ—to consider his suffering and his sacrifice, his life, death, burial, and resurrection.
During the 2026 Lenten Season at Faith Presbyterian Church, we will look at relinquishment...not simply the giving up of something we ordinarily do for the period of Lent. Rather, relinquishment asks us to put our desires aside for what God wants from us and for us and put ourselves in God's Hands.
Ash Wednesday Service, February 18th at 5 pm
Ash Wednesday is a holy day of prayer and fasting and marks the first day of Lent, the seven weeks of prayer and fasting before the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord on Easter Sunday.
Personal Lenten Devotional
It's an exhausting time to be a Christian - to be human - in modern America. Each day feels like a careful dance navigating anger, fear, and exhaustion. Many pastors and church leaders are holding grief in pastoral conversations, tension in congregations, and the desire to live and lead faithfully. How do you claim resurrected hope when you're faced with such division, apathy, and chaos? In the midst of that weight, Lent is coming.
The Presbyterian Outlook's 2026 Lenten devotional, Discipleship in a Divided Age, written by Outlook editor Teri McDowell Ott, journeys through the Gospel of Matthew - A Gospel shaped in conflict, fragile community, and deep disagreement - and invites readers to follow Jesus with humility, courage, and faithfulness.
Written with church members in mind, this devotional offers:
- Daily Scripture-based reflections grounded in the read world
- Reflection questions and prayers
- Weekly visio divine with original artwork
- A steady, pastoral voice for an unsteady season
The 2026 Personal Lenten Devotional can be picked up in the Narthex or call the church office for a copy. One per family please.
