Easter is a sacred season of hope, renewal, and new life, and Lent is the season leading up to it—a time to reflect, prepare, and grow closer to God.
You are warmly invited to journey with us at Kingswood Church through both Lent and Easter. Whether you join us for worship, special events, Lenten reflections, or simply reach out for prayer or connection, there is a place for you here. As we move through Lent toward the joy of Easter, we invite you to come as you are and participate in all that God is doing among us.
All are welcome!

Moms' Lenten Bible Study
Hey Moms! Join us five Monday mornings in February and March to talk through the Gospel of John during this Lent season. We'll follow along with the sermon series but will use video clips from The Chosen to enhance our discussion. No prep needed...just come as you are! Need childcare? Let Jenn know (jsawyer@kingswoodumc.com) and we'll work it out.
Lenten Book Study
ONLINE: Tuesdays, February 24, March 3, 10, and 17 @ 7:00pm
AT DEERFIELD: Thursdays, February 26, March 5, 12, and 19 @ 1:00pm
Join us for either the online or in person study reading The Gospel of John: The Beginners Guide to the Way, The Truth, and the Life. John’s Gospel offers readers a new language—of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the “I am”—that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith. This book considers the Gospel of John in its entirety, moving through the Gospel and exploring the prologue, the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery, the healing of the man at the pool and the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the Lamb of God.
