Lenten Activities and Events

Lenten Activities and Events

An Invitation to a Holy Lent
Each year we are invited to enter into Lent by, among other things, “reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.”
There are many ways we’re going to do that this year:

Ash Wednesday

Join us in the church on Wednesday, February 18 at noon or 7 pm. The 7 pm service will also be livestreamed. Clergy and lay ministers also will be imposing ashes in our parking lot on Ash Wednesday from 7 – 9 am and from 4 – 6 pm.

Lenten Outreach Project – A Call to Feed the Hungry

Bishop Andy Doyle has called on all churches in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas to increase our efforts to help feed the hungry in our community. As part of that call, our 2026 Lenten Offering will go to support the work of 4Saints & Friends Episcopal Food Pantry. Donate online here. Choose “Lenten Outreach” from the drop down menu.

Weekly Stations of the Cross

Each Sunday in Lent at 5pm, you’re invited into the church to walk the ways of the cross.

Sunday Forums: The Real Stations of the Cross

“The Real Stations of the Cross” is a Lenten adult Bible study inviting participants to walk with Jesus from his condemnation to the tomb, exploring both the biblical Passion narratives and the rich devotional traditions that have shaped the Stations through the centuries. Each week combines Scripture, historical context, and theological reflection, paying careful attention to where the Stations arise directly from the Gospels and where they emerge from the Church’s prayerful imagination. Together, we will reflect on suffering, compassion, injustice, faithfulness, and hope, allowing this ancient practice to deepen our understanding of Christ’s love and to shape our own discipleship as we journey toward Palm Sunday and Holy Week.

Rector’s Wednesday Bible Study: Walking with Jesus Through the Passion

This Lent the weekly Wednesday Bible study will explore the Passion narratives as told in the four Gospels, listening closely to how each evangelist tells the story of Jesus’ suffering, death, and love in a distinct way. Together we will notice what each Gospel emphasizes, what questions it raises, and how these ancient stories continue to shape our faith and lives today. Rather than harmonizing the accounts, we will honor their differences and discover how they offer multiple windows into the mystery of the cross. This study is designed for thoughtful reflection, guided teaching, and meaningful discussion as we journey toward Holy Week and Easter.

Youth Group: Walking the Holy Days

Each Sunday at 4:00pm our youth group will walk together through the heart of the Christian story by focusing on five holy days: Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and the Easter Vigil. Each week invites students to explore a different moment of Jesus’ journey through prayer, scripture, and conversation. Rather than rushing to Easter, we will linger with themes of identity, service, suffering, waiting, and hope, learning how God meets us in every season of life.

Children’s Ministry

Our children will explore Lenten and Easter lessons from the Illustrated Ministry curriculum, reflecting on how to grow closer to God. Showing kindness, giving to the hungry, and understanding Jesus’ love will be dicerned before celebrating Jesus’ Resurrection. Children will be provided activity and coloring booklets in Children’s Chapel, and will also receive activity calendars from Forward Movement. 

United Thank Offering’s Lenten Meditations

unitedthankoffering.com/Lent

Our materials in 2026 are inspired by the book The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This book takes a look at how the natural world functions via a gift economy as plants, animals, soil, etcetera share what they have for the common good. When the UTO Board and Staff read this book, we resonated with the themes because they also are the foundation of the ministry of UTO.

Episcopal Relief & Development’s Lenten Meditations

episcopalrelief.org/church-in-action/lent

Written by Sister Monica Clare, an Episcopal nun, author and unlikely TikTok star, our 2026 meditations offer an invitation to rediscover—or deepen—holy habits of prayer, worship and engagement with Scripture. These “holy habits” provide a path to a life that is given shape, meaning and direction by being rooted in a deeper relationship with God.

Seminary of the Southwest’s 2026 Lenten Meditations

ssw.edu/lent2026

This Lent, Seminary of the Southwest is offering a new Lenten project that invites the wider church into a season of renewal and hope. Designed to accompany the first five weeks of Lent, the series creates space for prayer, conversation, and faithful reflection on repentance, discipleship, and the promise of new life. Shaped by the voices of five women members of our faculty, these gatherings reflect both the depth of Southwest’s theological life and our commitment to forming leaders for ministry, service, and healing. Rooted in the Lenten journey, this project offers a hopeful reminder that even in times of change, God is at work bringing new life.
