Lent to Easter 2026
Lent is an ancient rhythm of the Church that invites us to slow down, pay attention, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter. For forty days [beginning on Ash Wednesday and leading up to Easter] Christians throughout history have set aside intentional time for reflection, repentance, and renewal, following the pattern of Jesus’ forty days in the wilderness.
At TBC, we approach Lent not as a way to earn God’s love or prove our devotion, but as a gracious invitation to make space for Him. It’s a season to loosen our grip on what distracts us, to name what needs surrender, and to ask the Holy Spirit to gently draw us closer to Christ at a pace shaped by grace, not pressure.
Below, you’ll find a calendar and devotional resources to help you or your family journey from Lent to Easter Sunday with intentionality. Our prayer is that, as we walk together through this season, we would release our confidence in lesser things and rediscover the deep hope that flows from Jesus’ victory over sin and death.
