What is Lent?
Lent is a season in the church year—a time of about 40 days (not counting Sundays) leading up to Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the night before Easter Sunday. Lent is a time when Episcopalians and many other Christians focus on spiritual growth, reflection, and preparation for the celebration of Easter, when we remember Jesus’ resurrection.
Why 40 days?
The 40 days remind us of the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, where he fasted, prayed, and faced challenges. It’s a time for us to reflect on our own lives and deepen our relationship with God.
The Spirit of Lent:
Lent is meant to be a solemn season—reflecting on our frailness as humans, it’s also a hopeful time of turning back to God, of reflection, repentance, and renewal. It prepares us to celebrate Easter with joy, having taken time to grow closer to God and to consider how we live our faith in daily life.
How do Episcopalians observe Lent?
Lent is often observed through:
Prayer: Spending extra time talking with God, reading Scripture, and meditating.
Fasting or giving something up: Some people choose to give up certain luxuries or habits as a way to focus more on God. Others may add a spiritual practice instead, like volunteering or daily devotionals.
Worship: Attending special services, including Ash Wednesday and Holy Week observances. We take away all “Alleluias” from our worship.
At Holy Trinity
This year, Holy Trinity will mark Lent by shifting our worship language to Rite I (Elizabethan vibe). At 10:30, we will chant the psalm and the opening to the Eucharistic prayer. This offers us the opportunity to experience our worship tradition roots and how language impacts our weekly worship style and mood. We will also be offering other events tthroughout Lenten to help you experience the full breadth of Episcopal Church worship. Please stay tuned for more details.

A New Class: You’re Not Alone
Weekly beginning February 8th to March 22nd
12:00 p.m.- 1:00 p.m. in the Vesting Room
So many of us are carrying more than we ever expected to—grief, loss, disappointment, questions, or quiet ache. In the midst of all that, we want you to know: you are not alone.
This class offers a compassionate, grace-filled space for anyone walking through grief, holding long-standing sorrow, or simply wanting to better understand grief and how to care for others. Together, we’ll listen, learn, and reflect in a safe and supportive community.
Come just as you are. There’s no pressure to share, no fixing required—only honest conversation, practical wisdom, and the steady hope we find when we walk together.
A Taizé service is a meditative, contemplative style of Christian worship that originated from the Taizé Community in France. It is characterized by repetitive, simple chants, periods of silence, scripture readings, and prayer, creating an atmosphere of peace and reflection. The service often incorporates candlelight and minimal spoken words, encouraging participants to connect with God through quiet contemplation and song. It is ecumenical, welcoming people from different Christian traditions to pray together in unity.

Episcopal Church 101: Why the fuss over Holy Week?
March 29th | at 9:00am | Parish Hall
Because Easter falls on the first Sunday of the month, we are moving E.C.101 up one week to March 29th. Whether you’re brand new to the Episcopal Church, returning after time away, or have been here for years with questions, Episcopal Church 101 (E.C. 101) offers a welcoming space for curiosity and honest conversation. This isn’t a class or lecture—it’s a monthly, come-as-you-are gathering using a “fishbowl” discussion format where clergy and guests begin the conversation, then everyone is invited to join in.
We’ll explore topics like: What makes us Episcopalian?, How do we understand Scripture and tradition?, the Sacraments, church structure, the liturgical year, and big-picture theology—guided by your questions and interests.
Come once or come often. Listen quietly or jump in. You belong here.
