Lent in 2025 begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5th, and follows the 40-day tradition leading up to Maundy Thursday, April 17th. This season invites reflection on our human imperfections and the redemption found in Christ. It provides an opportunity for families to journey together in faith, focusing on Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Just as Advent prepares hearts for Christmas, Lent can guide families toward a deeper understanding of Easter’s significance. By shifting focus from secular traditions to Jesus’ sacrifice, Easter Sunday becomes a truly joyous and meaningful celebration.

Easter, Resurrection Sunday, commemorates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial. We will also have a flowering of the cross.
You’re invited to take part in a beautiful Easter tradition — Flowering the Cross on the Plaza!
We encourage everyone to bring fresh flowers or greenery from your yard or neighborhood to help decorate the cross. Grocery store or shop-bought blooms are welcome too.
Don’t have flowers? No worries at all — just come! St. Paul’s will have some flowers available, and most importantly, we want you to be there to celebrate and enjoy fellowship with your church family.
Grab & Go Breakfast starts at 9:00 AM — Bring the whole family and kick off Easter Sunday.
