Fifth Avenue Baptist Church

The Lenten Season

Lent is a season of self-reflection, repentance, and meditation on God's Word to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate Easter. Let's look toward the cross and empty tomb together this season, praying we will acknowledge and embrace our need for a merciful Savior.

Each day's reading will be linked to an external site for those of you who prefer to read in a digital format, or when on the go and away from your printed Lenten Reading Guide. You can download a PDF copy of the print guide by clicking the button below. Printed copies will be available at the entrances of the church for you to pick up.
