Lent 2022

Lent is a season of refocus. A season to reflect on the journey of Jesus toward the cross and Easter. Mirrored off of Jesus' 40 days of temptation in the desert, the Lenten season lasts 40 days (not including Sundays), beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending with Holy Saturday (the day before Easter). Scroll down to find out how you can engage with us during this season of reflection.

Lenten Season Events & Services

Ash Wednesday Service

Lent begins at BBC with our Ash Wednesday service on March 2 at 7:00 PM. This service serves as a powerful reminder of our mortality and prepares us for the journey toward the cross ahead.

Lenten Sermon Series

Join us as we move through the journey of Jesus toward the cross together. Each week our messages will focus on a different part of Jesus' journey and how it relates to our lives. Begins with the first Sunday of Lent on March 6.

Palm Sunday Services

Palm Sunday is a special service in our church year because it features our kids waving in palm branches during our services and because it marks Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week.
