Lent 2025
Lent is the period of 40 days leading up to Easter and beginning on Ash Wednesday. The season is often marked by repentance, humility, fasting, self-examination.
Lent culminates in Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sunday and Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey. The final 3 days of Holy Week (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday) are when we remember the Passover meal He shared with His disciples, His suffering in the garden of Gethsemane, His betrayal, arrest, beating, crucifixion, and death, and—lastly—the silence that lingered the following day.
NEW TO THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR?

ASH WEDNESDAY
Next Wednesday, March 5 • 6:30am & 6:30pm
A service with worship, reflective prayer, and the imposition of ashes. We are reminded of our sinfulness, mortality, and the hope that is ours in Jesus.
LENTEN PRAYER
Wednesdays, March 12–April 16 • 12–12:45PM • Gallery at the Park Church Building
Every Wednesday during Lent we will gather during the lunch hour to pray. Many are also fasting from food on Wednesdays, but please join us regardless.

At Park Church, we use visual artwork as an accompaniment to sermon series, church calendar seasons, church holidays, and some events…
