Lent 2026: Tell Me Something Good
Tell Me Something Good: Grounding Ourselves in the Good News This Lent
This Lent, let us remember that the good news really is good news. It is joyful - like fine wine saved for celebration. It grows like a mustard seed and smells like perfume poured from an alabaster jar. It tastes like bread passed endlessly through a hungry crowd. It sounds like laughter and feels like mercy. The good news is alive in the world.
Our friends at A Sanctified Art have provided a special e-reader version of this year’s Lenten devotional, which you can access on your computer and mobile devices. In order to protect their work, please refrain from sharing this link or posting it on social media.
In addition, our Lent Brochure outlines the scriptures for each sermon and service in this series. Read along with us as we dive into the Good News.
