Ash Wednesday Services
Wednesday, February 18, 2026
Ash Wednesday marks the start of the Lenten season of reflection and repentance. The traditional feature of our Lenten services is the imposition of ashes, signifying the spirit of humility with which we enter this season of penitence and prayer.
Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 | Disciples: The Blessed Life
As Lent begins, Jesus invites His followers to live not for show, but with sincerity and devotion. This message explores how a life rooted in quiet faithfulness can bring deep and lasting blessing.

Lenten Series: Life-Changing Encounters with Jesus
Throughout the season of Lent, we journey alongside people whose lives were forever changed through their encounters with Jesus. From curious disciples and skeptical seekers to the rejected, the blind, and even the dead, each story reveals something about the transforming power of Christ. As we prepare our hearts for Easter, these sacred moments invite us to reflect deeply on our own lives—and to open ourselves to healing, clarity, and resurrection hope.
