Lent and Holy Week 2022

Lent begins with an Ash Wednesday worship service when we are reminded that, “From dust you have come and to dust you will return.” During Lent, we are invited to “Stay close to the master,” focusing on our union with Christ through baptism whereby we die to our old self so that we might live anew with Him.

Maundy Thursday,

The service of darkness. Maundy Thursday is a day to remember Jesus’ last evening with his disciples before his betrayal, trial and crucifixion. This year, our worship service will include original artistic responses to Scripture readings, created by members of First Church, that recount the story of this solemn evening. In addition, this is a Tenebrae service that will include communion and end in silence, darkness, and the tolling of the bells as we remember the darkness of Gethsemane.
