Lent Art (2026)
Around a dozen artists led and collaborated this year to produce Lent art. Each artist worked hard and thoughtfully to create a piece depicting a different interpretation of a cloud.

The gray of midwinter seems to match the weariness we feel with the tensions and fears stoking our news cycles, and the brokenness in our own lives. Our Lent installation is intended to recalibrate that gray toward beauty. Lent is a time and space for quiet and reflection, for lament and surrender. God is renewing the earth during winter’s cloud-shrouded, dormant times, and his Holy Spirit is like rain that washes and renews us. We pray that Lent at Redeemer is a safe place to be vulnerable before God and to seek him and his renewing reign and rain in our lives.

[The banners] remind me of the beautiful, bright colorful fabrics I see worn in the local churches here in Ganta, Liberia on Sunday mornings. It’s a joyous celebration in praise to our God! —Ruth Schwartz
