Lent is the 40-day period of renewal and preparation before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday. For hundreds of years Lent has been an important season for Christians to meditate, study, pray, participate in spiritual disciplines,  and renew their vows to the Lord as they strive to increase their understanding of Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection. Our hope is that you, and others you invite, will participate fully in the Lenten activities offered here at Faith. May God renew us and prepare us to celebrate again all that he did for us on the cross and at the empty tomb! All worship services will be in person, and all those at 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. will be livestreamed.   


Maundy Thursday Dinner & Worship (April 2 — dinner at 5:30 p.m., worship at 7:00 p.m.)

This service, commemorating the Last Supper, is an important time to gather around the Lord’s Table.  We will gather for dinner in Link Hall at 5:30.  Worship begins in the sanctuary at 7:00 p.m.  


Good Friday Journey to the Cross Interactive Meditation (April 3—9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.)

On Good Friday, you are invited to journey to the cross with Jesus by participating in a reflective and interactive “walk” through the stations of his life, from the annunciation to the crucifixion. Visit every station or just one or two, or simply linger in the silence of the sanctuary on this holy day.  Come alone or with others; suitable for children if accompanied by adults. Instructions and guided reflections available.


Good Friday Tenebrae Service (April 3 — 7:00 p.m.)

Tenebrae (Latin for “darkness, shadows”) is a traditional service often held on Good Friday that rehearses the passion of Christ and is characterized by the gradual extinguishing of light. Though an ancient tradition, it is still quite new to us here at Faith, and we are looking forward to experiencing it again this year.   

 

Easter Sunday Worship  (April 5 — 7:00, 9:00, 11:00 a.m.)

We will gather for Easter Sunrise Service at 7:00 a.m. on the church patio. Services in the sanctuary will follow at 9:00 & 11:00 a.m. Invite your friends, family and neighbors to join us for this celebration!  We will have special refreshments on

the patio between the 7:00 and 9:00 services.
