Experience Lent at Point Loma Church

Lent is a season of reflection, prayer, and spiritual growth as we prepare our hearts for Easter. This year, we invite you to journey with us through United in Prayer: A Sermon Series on the Lord’s Prayer and engage in meaningful opportunities for worship, community, and service. From Lent Small Groups and a Lord’s Prayer Art Exhibit to special worship services on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, there are many ways to participate. You can also take part in our Lent Food Drive, Quiet Day of Reflection, and EasterFest—a celebration for the whole family.

Explore the full schedule of events below and join us as we walk through this sacred season together.

Lent Community Groups

Deepen your faith with others!

As we journey through Lent, we invite you to be part of a Lent Community Group—a space for reflection, growth, and deeper connection. In these groups we will go through the study Choosing Unity: Sharing in Community Group Experiences of Spiritual Practice, which will guide us through six different Christian traditions and their associated spiritual practice. There are four ways to engage in this study: a home group, an online group, a self-directed family group, or a self-directed individual study.

Families! Want to bring the spiritual practices from the community group study into your home? Tune in to our podcast every Thursday throughout Lent for episodes that transform the Lent study into a family devotional—perfect for families with children ages 4-9. You can pick up a copy of the devotional in the church office!

Lord's Prayer Art Exhibit

During the Lent season, we will be focusing on the Lord’s Prayer and how this sacred text unifies us to one another - as well as generations before and after us. Artists from our community will produce works based on any word or phrase, in any translation, from the Lord’s Prayer that resonates with them. These works will be on display in the Chapel throughout Lent.

On March 19 from 5:00-7:00pm there will be an open house with artists and self-guided reflection time in the Chapel. Stop by to enjoy the art and support the artists!
