2025 Journey to Easter
The Journey to Easter is traditionally called Lent and is a time of repentance, reflection, and preparation for the celebration of Easter. It is a period of 40 days that begins on Ash Wednesday and is meant to deepen faith, renew spiritual life, and focus on Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection.
At Christ Church, we take this time to dig deeper into Sunday messages and relationship with others through weekly Easter Groups, Reflection Guides, and Family Activity Packs. This year we’re supplementing these traditional resources with a weekly J2E Podcast and the option to sign up to receive Dig Deeper Devotional emails as well.
Join us this Easter season, in whatever way you like best, as we ask Jesus to teach us to pray by examining the depth, nuance, complexity, and beauty of The Lord’s Prayer.

J2E “Go Deeper” Guides
For this year’s “Journey to Easter” we have collected translations, songs, Bible verses, journaling prompts, and more to help you Go Deeper into The Lord’s Prayer, into the “Teach Us To Pray” sermon series, and into your own experience of prayer.
J2E “Go Deeper” Guides are different from J2E Reflection Guides, so you can do both!

J2E Prayer Vigil
We’re inviting everyone to be part of a community Prayer Vigil, Maundy Thursday through Holy Saturday. It’s easy to participate — just pledge to pray for 10 minutes or more, as many times as you want. You can pray at home, on a walk, in your favorite quiet spot, or wherever you feel most connected.
Let’s join together in prayer, reflection, and hope as we prepare our hearts for Easter and get ready to welcome community guests to Christ Church.
