Experience Lent in Candlelight: Evensong Begins This Sunday at 7 p.m.
Craving a quiet space to breathe, listen, and pray? Step into the sanctuary this Sunday, February 22, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. for the first Evensong of Lent—an evening service shaped by reflective music, Scripture, and prayer.
What to Expect
Evensong offers a calm, unhurried service with a different musical palette and an overall different feel than Sunday morning worship. Expect choral and congregational singing, moments of silence, and space to take in God’s presence without hurry or hype.
- When: Sunday, February 22, 2026, 7:00 p.m.
- Where: Sanctuary at Bethesda UMC
- Format: Simple liturgy, reflective music, and time for prayer
Why It Matters in Lent
Lent invites us to pay attention—one song, one prayer, one breath at a time. Evensong helps us practice that attention through beauty and quiet. The music carries Scripture into our hearts, and the stillness makes room for God’s renewing work.
Plan Your Visit
- Arrive a few minutes early to settle in and find a seat.
- Bring a friend who could use a peaceful evening.
- Stay after the service for unstructured quiet or conversation in the narthex.
