18 February – 2 April

Lent Resources 2026

This year's theme, Hidden to Whole, will look to the unploughed ground within our hearts; the hardened places and hidden fears that resist the transforming love of God. To confront these areas requires courageous discipleship, a willingness to face what is uncomfortable and allow the Spirit to do the deep work of renewal.

This six-week series will help us to search for the hidden things within our hearts that God has already planted and wants to breathe new life into. Allowing his love to heal our hearts, making them whole, so that we may live out this transforming love more effectively in our communities.

The weekly themes are as follows:

February 22 – Hidden Hope
March 1 – Hidden Boldness
March 8 – Hidden Peace
March 15 (Mother's Day) – Hidden Love
March 22 – Hidden Joy
March 29 (Palm Sunday) – Hidden Righteousness
