All are Welcome! In-person and online!

Ash Wednesday

Wednesday, March, 1 • noon & 7:00 pm

Ash Wednesday is the first of the 40 days of Lent. Customarily, we receive blessed ashes on our forehead from the palms burned after last year’s Palm Sunday. The ritual reminds us that we are human and mortal, leading us to a greater understanding and appreciation of life. The 7:00 p.m. service will be streamed on Facebook Live.

Regular Sunday morning services will continue throughout the season with the traditional liturgy. Third Sundays of the month are “Family Sundays.” These services are shorter in length geared for children. Only the 10:00 am services will be available online.
The Churches Have Left Their Buildings!
We would like to invite you to join our Lenten Series that we're calling The Churches Have Left Their Buildings! While the pandemic suspended much of our activity in the broader community, some of it is coming back in new ways. See the Home Page for more details!
Palm Sunday

Sunday, April 2 • 7:45 am & 10:00 am

Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week when we celebrate the day that Jesus entered into Jerusalem as crowds cheered and waved palm branches. We remember the final days of Jesus’ life by reading the story of his triumph, betrayal, condemnation, and crucifixion. We will also be celebrating the close of our successful annual pledge drive recognizing everyone's generosity.
