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.

There will be two traditional worship services on Ash Wednesday, at noon and 6:30 p.m., both including the imposition of ashes. Meals will be served after the noon service and before the evening service.
Foundation Lectures
Friday and Saturday, February 24 & 25
The Covenant Presbyterian Church Foundation and the Discipleship Committee partnered in 2020 to present an annual lecture series to bring prominent Christian speakers and authors to our campus. The support from the Foundation gives Covenant members, friends and the broader community the opportunity to engage deeply on topics of faith, community, and service during sessions presented over two days. On February 24 & 25, we will welcome David Zahl, author of Low Anthropology, as our guest speaker. This event is free and open to the public.
