Lent invites us into the wilderness—not as a punishment, but as a place of formation. Throughout Scripture, God meets His people in seasons of testing to teach trust, dependence, and faith. In this series, we will journey with Israel and with Jesus through hunger, thirst, temptation, repentance, and perseverance, learning to pray honestly and rely fully on God. This journey leads us to Palm Sunday, where the One shaped by the wilderness enters Jerusalem as a humble King of peace, and through Holy Week, preparing our hearts to receive the hope, victory, and new life of Easter.

Devotional for LentBeginning Ash Wednesday, February 18, we invite you to journey with us through Faith in the Wilderness, a daily devotional designed to prepare your heart for Easter. Each day offers Scripture, a brief reflection, a simple question to ponder, and a prayer to set you in the right direction. Together, we will walk the wilderness path of repentance, prayer, fasting, dependence on God, and generosity toward others, learning to trust God more deeply in the wilderness we all travel. And every Sunday, we pause to celebrate resurrection hope breaking into the wilderness. Whether you are new to Lent or have observed it for years, you're invited to commit to this journey. Set aside a few minutes each day. Let God meet you in the quiet. This devotional is an opportunity to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and be shaped by His grace.

Celebrate the unexpected joy of Easter with us at First Covenant Church. Like running into an old friend, hearing a child’s laughter, or receiving kindness you didn’t see coming, the resurrection of Jesus brings joy to our lives when we least expect it. Come discover the hope and new life found in the risen Christ. All are welcome.
Before the joy of Easter comes the sacrifice of Good Friday. On this sacred day, we pause to remember the depth of God’s love revealed at the cross of Jesus Christ. Good Friday invites us to reflect on the cost of our redemption and the hope that began in Christ’s suffering. When we take time to remember the cross, the celebration of Easter becomes even more powerful and meaningful. Join us as we gather in a quiet, reflective service to remember the love that changed the world and prepares our hearts for the joy of resurrection.
