Lent is a season of preparation and repentance that begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Easter Sunday. It is a time to renew our faith and reflect on who Jesus is for us as individuals and as a community. We invite you to join us on this journey by participating in worship, community, and spiritual practices unique to this season.

We know that getting to church early on Easter Sunday can be a challenge, but we appreciate those who do. Attending our 6:30 or 8:00 a.m. services helps create more space in our later services. We want to treat our early birds to free breakfast tacos from Rudy’s as a special thank you for coming out early. Tacos will be out on the patio between the 6:30 and 8:00 a.m. services. Enjoy!
We anticipate full services this Easter. Please make a plan to arrive early and take the shuttle located at Texan Eye (5717 Balcones Dr. ) when possible. Taking the shuttle helps us ensure you get a spot without circling and leaves on-campus spaces open for visitors and those with mobility impairment.
Children are welcome to join their family in the worship service. Childcare is available for children ages 4 and under at our 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. services.

Each year, Covenant members adorn the sanctuary and FE 200 with Easter Lilies in honor and remembrance of loved ones. Each plant is $15, and may be ordered either online, or by filling out the Easter Lily Order forms found in Fellowship Hall, the Sanctuary Narthex, and Covenant Hall.
The deadline to order is March 24.
