Other Lenten Events

Our Lenten/Holy Week theme is “Wandering Heart” from the Sanctified Art series based on the life of the disciple Peter. Each week features a theme phrase from the beloved hymn “Come Thou Fount of Many Blessings.”

We'll be forming small groups during Lent to continue our faith journey together.  Find out more here.


Ash Wednesday
Wednesday, March 5 - 7:00 p.m.

We will gather for worship in the sanctuary. You’ll have the opportunity to write down something you want to release for the Lenten season that will be safely burned. This is a confidential prayer between you and God. We remember our mortality as we receive the sign of the cross on our forehead or hand. We’ll also celebrate Communion as we begin the Lenten season together.


Ukrainian Egg Day

In lieu of our traditional egg decorating day, to be good stewards of resources and being mindful of current food insecurities, we will donating the equivalent of 5 dozen eggs to both VEAP and Joyce Food Shelf.  But the intergenerational fun will continue!  We will be doing alternative Ukrainian crafts, playing Ukrainian games, listening to Ukrainian music, and support the UMCOR mission in Ukraine.  Please RSVP by April 5 to jan@good.org
