Lent is the liturgical season of repentance and confession, prayer and fasting, and preparation for the resurrection of Christ. It begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days, culminating in Holy Week and Easter. We hope you will join us in worship, study, and giving this Lenten Season.
Ash Wednesday - February 18
Ash Wednesday, the first day of the Lenten season, is set aside for contemplation, self-assessment, and renewing our relationship with God. Join us on Wednesday, February 18 at Noon or 6:30 pm to begin your own Lenten journey with the imposition of ashes, sacred music, and prayer. All are welcome and invited.
If you will need the nursery for this service, please RSVP online by Sunday, February 15.
Sunday Worship - 10:30 a.m.
Join us each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary for worship. Highlands combines sights, sounds, liturgy, and ritual into a meaningful experience for a diverse community who then serve their neighbors in their daily lives. All are welcome!
