Lent

Lent 2026

Lent was originally a season for new converts to learn and prepare for their baptism on Easter. During that time, they would study what was central to Christianity. As we crafted this series, we asked: what are the core, foundational concepts of Jesus’ life and ministry? What makes each of these good news? Can we trust that the good news is truly good, even when it challenges us? If we’re being honest, we can easily distort or sanitize Jesus’ teachings. Following Jesus leads to a richer, more expansive life, but it’s not necessarily comfortable. We often describe Jesus’ ministry as “radical” which comes from the Latin word “radicalis,” meaning “root” or “ground.” Therefore, the good news should bring us back to our roots, back to what grounds us: loving our neighbor, caring for the vulnerable, pursuing justice and mercy, and resting in God’s unending grace.

Journey with Jesus: Lent Devotional

Mondays During Lent
12:00 PM / Trinity Fellowship Hall
The season of Lent is a great time to commit to spending time with God and tending our spiritual life. This Lenten Season, we invite everyone at Trinity to read Scripture together as a spiritual discipline. Using the devotional Journey with Jesus, we will read the Gospel of John together. Journal questions are provided to dig deeper and to reflect on the daily readings. We encourage you to form a group or find a friend and meet weekly (or when you can) during Lent to reflect on the readings and questions. For those interested, there will be a gathering at noon on Mondays during Lent in the Fellowship Hall to discuss and process the Scripture for the past week in community. People are encouraged to bring a lunch and to stay for whatever time their schedule allows.
