Lent 2024 at Union
"I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." —Isaiah 43:19
Worship
Join us for Worship every Sunday at 11:15 AM in person or online!
Each week of Lent, we will have a spiritual practice that will help us deepen this season of spiritual preparation. Each worship service, we will dig into the practice together. We hope you will be with us this Lent on the way to Easter Sunday!
Weekly devotional
For the six weeks of Lent, our Weekly Lenten Devotional focuses our collective attention on a Spiritual Practice that helps us slow down and get rooted in the presence of God that is already at hand. In addition to tips on spiritual practice, each week will include readings, resources, and more to listen more deeply to the Spirit of God.

Lent at Union
In the Year of Possibility at Union, we follow Jesus the Christ into the unknown for forty days of listening, preparations, and discernment. The wilderness reminds us of the harshness and fecundity of the unknown, this place where God goes before us and where God is making new possibilities in the wilderness (Isaiah 43:19). In the wilderness, we recognize our need for God. So through spiritual practices, we will tune our hearts to the Spirit of God and ground ourselves in the truth that, no matter what may come, God is with us.
