Stations of the Cross, this Lent in the Grace Sanctuary
Stations of the Cross is a reflective prayer journey that follows Jesus’ path to the cross. Through scripture, readings, and quiet meditation at each station, participants are invited to remember Christ’s love, enter into the meaning of his sacrifice, and prepare their hearts for Easter.
Use the self-guided meditation booklet, “The Way of the Cross,” linked below, to prayerfully walk the stations in the sanctuary.
The Stations are available through April 12 anytime the church is open—Monday through Friday from 9:00am–2:00pm and on Sundays before and after worship. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the church office (office@umcgrace.org).
Lenten Season 2026
Lent was originally a final 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and self-examination undergone by those planning to be baptized on Easter day. Over time this practice became a tradition of the whole church, to spend 40 days in intentional prayer, penitence, and focus on just what has occurred in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Lenten Devotional
This year’s theme is “The Way of the Cross” with devotions written by members and friends of Grace.
The full devotional will be available here on the website and included in the weekly congregational email.
Lenten Cross Mission Project
The Lenten Cross provides a meaningful way to practice prayer, service, and giving throughout this sacred season. Located in the Narthex at Grace, the cross holds tags with simple opportunities to help others through our partnership with House of Mercy.
Take a tag, complete the invitation, and place any donated items at the foot of the Cross during Lent. Thank you for supporting this shared effort to serve others with compassion during Lent.
- Worship services are offered every Sunday morning at 9am and 11am in the Sanctuary (and are also livestreamed and recorded).
- At 10am, Sunday School and Missions project opportunities for all ages are available throughout Grace.
