In the Episcopal Church, our rhythm of worship finds its anchor in the liturgical year — the calendar of seasons that call our soul's attention to the abundance of God's grace. These seasons last a few to several weeks at a time and shape our focus, prayers, and hearts through expansive themes. If you're new to Christianity or to the Episcopal Church — or just curious — read below to explore and learn about any of these seasons.

Lent — A Holy Reset of the Soul

Lent is the 40‑day season (not counting Sundays) in which the Church invites us into a deeper, more intentional walk with Jesus. It’s a time of honest reflection, prayer, and returning to God—not to earn anything, but to make space for the healing and renewal God is already offering. In the Episcopal tradition, Lent is less about “proving” our devotion and more about clearing away distractions so we can hear the Spirit more clearly. It’s a season that gently asks us to slow down, pay attention to our lives, and practice the kind of love Jesus shows—mercy, courage, compassion, and truth‑telling.
