Lent at Trinity Church 2026

Lent is a journey we take together. It’s a church season of quiet reflection as we walk toward the miracle of Jesus’s resurrection — the ultimate expression of God’s death-defying love we celebrate at Easter.

In 2026, Lent begins on February 18 and ends on April 4.
Lent spans forty days: from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday, excluding Sundays.
The name Lent comes from an Old English word meaning “spring.”
Traditionally, Lenten observance includes fasting: pausing or stopping certain habits to pay closer attention to what’s essential, what’s true, and what’s holy.

Jesus’s Message for Turbulent Times

“Christians need not despair,” writes Summerlee Staten, “God’s word for us is eternal — the pinprick of light before and beyond the coming storm. When we keep our eyes on that light . . . we see beyond the darkness, guarding a future not fully known to us, and yet already held by God.”
