3 min read

As we enter the Season of Lent, All Souls invites you into a time of reflection, prayer, and spiritual renewal. Lent offers us a sacred opportunity to pause, to breathe, and to draw closer to God as we journey toward Holy Week and the joy of Easter morning. We hope you will join us in these meaningful gatherings and practices throughout the season.

Ash Wednesday

Wednesday, February 18 • 7:00 p.m.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, a service of humility, reflection, and hope. Together we mark the beginning of this sacred season with prayer, scripture, and the imposition of ashes.

Wednesdays During Lent – Prayer

Prayer Stations Beginning February 25 • 12:00–1:30 p.m.

Intercessory Prayer Service • 12:30–1:00 p.m.

Each Wednesday during Lent, the Chapel will be open for personal reflection through a series of interactive Prayer Stations. You are invited to move through the stations at your own pace, engaging in prayer, contemplation, and quiet time with God.

At 12:30 p.m., we gather for a brief Intercessory Prayer service, lifting up the needs of our community and the world.

Thursdays in Lent – Vespers

Beginning February 26 • 6:15 p.m.

Join Pastor Becka in the Chapel for Vespers, a peaceful mid‑week pause designed to help you reset and reconnect. This 25–30 minute service includes music, scripture reading, reflection, and prayer—an intimate, candlelit moment of stillness in the midst of busy weeks.

Tuesdays – Tuesday Nights Together (TNT)

Tuesdays beginning February 24 • Starting at 5:00 p.m.

TNT continues through Lent with offerings for all ages!
