Barren to Bountiful: Lent 2026
Lent is often a season associated with fasting, and conjures up rituals of self-denial of food and fun or displaying outward misery, but the prophetic voice of Isaiah 58 says that true fasting rejuvenates an active commitment to justice, mercy, and righteousness. The Lenten fast is intended to nourish the barren and parched spaces of our lives.
The Lenten season begins with a smudge on our foreheads that reminds us that we were raised from the dust and we will return to the dust. That recognition of our mortality on Ash Wednesday is also a bold proclamation that today we live. Lent calls us to realign our minds, our bodies, our hearts to God. It invites us to release the clutter and burdens so we can breathe once again.
The stories we hear over the 40 days seek to renew our senses and awaken us to this moment in time to which we have been called. Come and journey as community through this season as the Lenten fast renews our commitment to justice, mercy, and righteousness.
Engage in a Lenten Practice
Here are a few opportunities that may help you to create some intentional space for prayer and renewal during this season:
- Set your day to music with the Barren to Bountiful: LENT 2026 playlist. Listen to a song or two as you begin or end your day, put it on during your commute or while you are washing the dishes! Follow this link to the Barren to Bountiful: LENT 2026 playlist or search for it in your Youtube Music app.
- Start a daily devotional. A daily devotional for Lent, Love Outpoured, is available now and you can find one on the table outside the sanctuary. The devotions are focused on portions of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans and paired with evocative images, short reflections and prayers. The devotions can be used for personal meditation and it will also accompany our Wednesday noon discussions starting February 25th.
- If you are feeling crafty, set up a paper prayer garden in your home. Dedicate a wall and hang up some butcher paper or poster board as your garden bed. Take a few moments each day to cut out a flower and write down a prayer of healing, of lament, of joy, etc.. and add it to your “garden.” Over the season of Lent, you can watch your prayers grow and bring some color into your day!

BREATH OF GOD LENTEN SERIES
Breathe in. Breathe out.
It is a simple yet sacred act of living. With each inhale and exhale we reconnect with the Divine. Using a variety of prayer practices, we were invited into a daily connection with God during our 2020 season of Lent.
We leave these here as a gift and invite you to return to these practices in those moments when we need that reminder to breathe. Maybe you are discovering these for the first time. This is an invitation to create some space and play with God while we continue to understand our current reality of life.
BREATH OF GOD GUIDE AND WEEKLY DEVOTIONALS
“Living Breath of God” is an arrangement by Fendrick & Peck, of the classic hymn “O Living Breath of God.” May this song invite you into the season of Lent and prepare you to breathe deeply the Divine who dwells with us.
