Lenten Season
The Lenten Season is a holy period of deep reflection and sacrificial devotion as we prepare our hearts for the glorious celebration of Resurrection Sunday. Join us as we journey together through this sacred period, engaging in meaningful worship services, prayer calls, fasting, and special events designed to draw us closer to God and one another. Whether you participate in-person or online, you’ll find opportunities for reflection, devotion, and celebration as we prepare our hearts for the joyous resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday. Let’s come together to worship, pray, and grow in faith during this holy season.
Prayer Calls
The Ebenezer Clergy Team will host for the Lenten Season Prayer Calls every Monday through Friday at 7:14 AM, through Good Friday, April 3rd. We’ll gather on Zoom, Facebook Live, and YouTube for a powerful time of prayer and devotion led by our Ebenezer clergy team.
Pastor Warnock will lead the Lenten Season Prayer Calls on Tuesdays and during Holy Week.
The start time for the prayer calls is based on the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Navigating Our World
Join our 2026 Lenten Season study of“The Last Supper: Conversations That Led to the Cross” by Rev. William Willimon. This Lenten series will be led by Ebenezer Clergy and the N.O.W. team.

Tune in Wednesdays at 6:00 PM EST via Facebook Live or Zoom for thought-provoking insights, spiritual guidance, and meaningful connections. Let’s navigate our world—together.
Lenten Season Daily Scripture Readings
Fasting Guide
Fasting is the voluntary act of refraining from eating, drinking, or indulging in certain activities (like caffeine, red meat, sweets, cigarettes, alcohol, fried foods, junk food, television, secular music, social media, etc.) for a set period. The goal is to deny ourselves these comforts to become more attentive to God.
Fasting should be paired with a prayerful and contrite spirit, along with a penitent heart.
Types of Fasting from food:
Full Fast: Consume only liquids.
The Daniel Fast: Avoid meat, sweets, and bread. Drink water and juice, and eat fruits and vegetables.
Partial Fast: Fast from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm or from sunrise to sunset. Choose from a Full Fast, Daniel Fast, or give up at least one type of food.
Prayerfully choose a fast in consultation with your doctor. The type of fast you select is a personal decision between you and God, and He will honor your best sacrifice.
Fasting is voluntarily refraining from eating or drinking or abstaining from some indulgence, (i.e., caffeine, red meat, sweets, cigarettes, alcohol, fried foods, junk food, television, secular music, social media, etc.) for a designated period of time for the purpose of denying ourselves that we may become more attentive to God.
Fasting should be accompanied by a prayerful and contrite spirit and a penitent heart.
Holy Week at Ebenezer
Holy Week is a seven‑day spiritual journey that begins with Palm Sunday and ends with Resurrection Sunday. During this sacred week, we remember the final days of Jesus’ life—His suffering, His crucifixion, and ultimately His Resurrection. At Ebenezer, we understand these final days as a revolutionary act of love, solidarity with the marginalized, and a dismantling of systems that oppress God’s people. Holy Week invites us to walk with Jesus through struggle, sacrifice, and the liberating hope that comes from God’s transformative power.
Palm Sunday
Sunday, March 29 at 10:00 a.m.
We begin Holy Week by celebrating Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem—a moment when the people proclaimed a new kind of king, one who came not with military might but with a message of liberation and peace.
