We are just one week away from the 2026 Men's Lenten Breakfast, and this is your opportunity to take a meaningful step in your faith as we approach the most important days of the Lenten season.

As we draw closer to Holy Week, Good Friday, and Easter, this is a time to pause, reflect, and intentionally prepare our hearts. In the midst of busy schedules, it’s not always easy to create that space, but this morning is designed to help you do exactly that.

For 73 years, men in our community have gathered for a simple but powerful purpose: to grow in faith, be encouraged, and refocus on what truly matters.

What you’ll experience:
• A hearty hot breakfast
• Uplifting music
• A powerful message from John Desser, offering encouragement and perspective to help you deepen your faith and live with greater purpose

This is more than just an event—it’s a chance to reset spiritually, connect with others, and walk into Holy Week with greater clarity and intention.

We're thankful for this year's 2026 Men's Lenten Breakfast sponsors. Without their generous giving we would not be able to provide this long-standing tradition to the community. We're thankful for their partnership year after year to bring this breakfast to the hundreds of men who attend and leave encouraged in their faith!

This year’s 2026 Men's Lenten Breakfast falls during Holy Week, just days before Good Friday and Easter. It's a time when many of us are preparing our hearts and minds to reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and the hope of the Resurrection.

It’s a meaningful way to center your week as we move toward Good Friday and celebrate the hope of Easter.
