LENT & EASTER SERVICES

Ash Wednesday – February 22nd

The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. Instead of a sermon, this year our worship service will be centered around six prayer stations set up around the Sanctuary to help us prepare our hearts. This will be a time of contemplation and prayer and an opportunity to be still in the presence of God. At the final station, the imposition of ashes will take place. You are encouraged to come when you can give yourself the time to move at your own pace through the stations. The church will be open 9am-3pm and 6pm-8pm.

Every Friday in Lent – the Prayer Labyrinth will be open in the Gathering Room.

Maundy Thursday – Service at 6:30pm with Potluck to follow

Good Friday – Service at 7:00pm

Prayer Vigil – From 7:00pm Good Friday to 7:00am Sunday. Signups coming soon.

Easter Sunday Sunrise Service – 7:00am in the green space by the East Entrance

Easter Sunday Celebration – Service at 10:30am in the Sanctuary
