Lent 2026 at Salt House

Lent at Salt House

February 18 - April 5

Lent is a season for spiritual renewal—forty-ish days that invite us to slow down, tell the truth about our lives and the world, and lean into God’s deep love that meets us right where we are. You’re invited to engage in worship, community, justice, and shared spiritual practices throughout the season. Come for one thing or many—there’s room for you. You can find more info on our website
