Lent

Lent 2025

This year, we’re letting the Gospel of Luke guide us through Lent. Beginning with Jesus setting his face toward Jerusalem (Luke 9:51), this series flows through several familiar stories—the Good Samaritan, Mary and Martha, the fruitless fig tree, the Lost Sheep, Zacchaeus, and more. In each narrative, Jesus intentionally highlights the cultural and political polarities of his time to emphasize the radical and inclusive love of God. Many of these stories mirror the divides we see in our families, churches, and communities today. This series is an invitation to approach these polarities with more faith, intention, and openness to others. Each weekly theme will explore two supposed binaries, like “rest & growth” or “grief & hope.” But life is often more nuanced and complex. God is present [in] between.

Journey with Jesus: Reading Luke Through Lent

Mondays During Lent
12:00 PM / Trinity Fellowship Hall
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and light to my path.” Psalm 119:105
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 Luke together, a chapter a day, along with other readings from the Bible that connect to Luke.  Journal questions are provided to dig deeper and to reflect on the daily readings.  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.
