Our Blue Christmas service is a gentle, contemplative service for those who are carrying pain or loss during this season of celebration. Worship with us as we ask God for guidance so that we may find love, light and hope during the Christmas season.
Our Christmas Eve communion services offer an opportunity for families to come together to reflect on and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Two services are offered to meet families’ needs: an early, child-friendly service and a later candlelight service.
Our Ash Wednesday service marks the beginning of Lent -- a season of reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. It serves as a call to spiritual renewal, reminding us of our human mortality and need for God’s grace. Through scripture, prayer, and the imposition of ashes, worshipers are invited to humbly acknowledge their dependence on God and commit to a season of self-examination, prayer, and growth in faith.
Our Maundy Thursday service commemorates the night of the Last Supper, when Jesus shared a final meal with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion. The word "Maundy" comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning "commandment," referring to Jesus’ instruction to "love one another as I have loved you." This service includes the celebration of Communion, reflecting on Jesus’ institution of the Lord’s Supper. The service concludes with a Tenebrae (Latin for “darkness” or “shadows”) portion—a solemn ceremony involving the gradual extinguishing of candles, stripping the Chancel of traditional church paraments and reading of Scripture to symbolize the deepening darkness of Jesus’ betrayal, suffering, and death. Together, these elements create a powerful and reflective experience, preparing worshipers for the sorrow of Good Friday and the hope of Easter.
