Why Lent Matters: Preparing Our Hearts for Resurrection Hope

Lent is a season that invites us to slow down and recalibrate our hearts before Easter. It reminds us of a hard but necessary truth—we are dust: finite, sinful, and deeply in need of God’s grace. Yet this season does not leave us in sorrow; it leads us to the cross, where we see both the seriousness of our sin and the overwhelming love of Christ, who bore judgment so we could receive mercy. As we reflect, repent, and turn back to God, Lent trains us to live in hope, fixing our eyes on the resurrection. From dust to glory, it tells the whole gospel story and prepares us to rejoice in the victory of Jesus. Lenten Service From dust to glory is a reflective Lenten gathering created for anyone who wants a quiet space to pause and reset in the middle of a busy life. • Midday Service: Feb 18 | 12:15 PM – 1:00 PM (Auditorium) • Evening Service: Feb 18 | 6:15 PM – 7:00 PM (Auditorium) Egg Hunt Hop on over for an exciting adventure at our huge Easter Egg Hunt!
