Lent and Easter at Country Hills Church
Join with us during the season of Lent as we prepare our hearts and lives to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at Easter.
Lent
Lent is a season of preparation and repentance for Easter that lasts 40 days (not including Sundays) before Easter that often includes fasting. As followers of Jesus fasting is a form of prayer and a discipline that helps us pray and connect with Jesus in a deeper way. We invite you to prayerfully consider a timeframe and way to fast during Lent. Lent begins on Wednesday March 5th and ends on Thursday April 17th.
Resources for Lent & Easter
Use the resources below to help prepare for, and journey through, the Lent season.
There are various lengths and kinds of fasts you can plan to participate in and you may also want to use the bible reading plan or one of the free Bible App devotional plans during your quiet times during Lent.

What time is the Good Friday service?

What time is the Easter service?
Our Easter service is on Sunday April 20th at 10am. Bring your entire family and a friend or neighbour as well. We will have a staffed nursery for children up to age 2 and children’s programming up to and including grade 6.
Are There Programs for Children?
We love children and believe that they are an important part of our church family!
We have a staffed nursery for children up to age 2 that doubles as a parent room where the service is LiveStreamed in case you need to stay with your little one.
There is also children’s programming up to and including grade 6.
When you arrive please visit the Guest Registration desk in the foyer to register your children so we know best how to care for them. Each child will receive a nametag and a parent/guardian will receive a security tag. This will help our volunteers know your child’s name and needs, and you will have a unique security number to ensure that your child(ren) are only released to you at the end of service.

Come exactly as you are - don’t dress up or down.
