The season of Lent - the six weeks leading up to Easter Sunday - is a journey of penitence and reflection and preparation. 

​

Ash Wednesday 2026 - A Wednesday evening ancient ritual of meditation, prayer, ashes, and sacred music. We are excited to share this evening with four local UCC churches.

​

Lenten Study - Some time a devotional Bible Study. Other times a book read. Our annual Lenten series helps ground us in the faith.  ​

​​

Holy Week - the final week of Lent that remembers the final days of Jesus.

​

Palm Sunday - Sunday morning service with the distribution of palms, 10:00 am. 

​

Maundy Thursday - 'Maundy' comes from the Latin word for 'mandate.' This is the night of the Last Supper where Jesus gives the disciples a new 'mandate' or commandment that the disciples are to love others they way Jesus loves them.

 

Our observance of Jesus' Last Supper involves a simple meal of broth, bread, cheese, water. We have special prayers, communion, and read through the story of Jesus last days while extinguishing candles. It's tradition to leave this service in science and then spend individual time on Good Friday and Holy Saturday reflecting on Jesus' death. 

​​

Easter Sunday (10:00 a.m.) celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. All are invited to join the choir in singing the Halleluiah Chorus from Handel's Messiah at the very end of the service.
