Lenten & Worship Service Schedule

LENT

is a time of learning.
is a time of prayer.

In the Ash Wednesday Gospel lesson, Jesus invites us into a deeper practice of prayer. Throughout the forty days of Lent, many resolve to expand their prayer life, but lose focus over time. Lent may be a time of prayer, but is also a time for learning. Thus, our commitment to prayer can be stronger, if we first take the time to learn a few spiritual practices.

This year our midweek Lenten journey will celebrate and experience five types of prayer, which can be practiced individually and communally:

Our classroom will rotate between Stull Hall and the Sanctuary. Our three pastors will be our teachers. Each week will provide a time of learning and a time of practice. The evening begins with a simple supper in Stull Hall, 4:45-5:30 p.m. Worship and teaching follow, 5:45-6:45 p.m.

(All services are in-person and available on YouTube)

Palm Sunday

Join us as we focus on the triumphant arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, remembering how that joyous atmosphere quickly changed to one filled with animosity resulting in Jesus’ death.

Maundy Thursday

Join us as we remember the last meal Jesus shared with his disciples prior to his arrest and crucifixion. We will practice foot washing and celebrate Holy Communion.

Good Friday

Join us for  a “Service of Shadows" as Bible passages prophesying the Messiah and ones about the crucifixion of Jesus are read. After each passage, candles and lights are sequentially extinguished leaving worshipers in darkness - reminiscent of Jesus’ body being laid in the tomb. A hymn or vocal offering by the choir will accompany each reading.
