Sing with All the Saints in Glory: A Lenten Midweek Series
Lent is a time of renewal as we focus on the death and resurrection of Jesus—and in turn focus on our own death and resurrection found in baptism. We who have been baptized into Christ have died to sin and are righteous saints of God. At the same time, we know that we struggle daily with sin as we seek to follow Jesus. This is the wonderful Lutheran understanding of sinner and saint.
We have a rich calendar of saints in the Lutheran tradition—Christians from every age who have pointed to Christ in their living and dying. In remembering these Christians who have gone before, we find inspiration for our Christian journey. This Lenten midweek series honors the commemorations that occur during the weeks in Lent in 2026. Commemorating these individuals is a starting point for a deeper engagement with our Christian faith.
Within the Holden Evening Prayer liturgy, each Wednesday Feb. 25 through March 25, we will explore in scripture and song how the heritage of these saints who have gone before us can enrich our lives of faith in our Lenten journeys. You are invited to share a simple soup supper in the fellowship hall of Trinity Lutheran Church (2324 Lombard Ave in Everett) after 5:30 pm. Worship will begin in the sanctuary at 6:30. If you would like to contribute a pot of soup on one of the Wednesdays, please alert office@TrinityLutheranEverett.com to help with the coordination.
