GREEK WORDS VIDEO LENTEN SERIES
In this series of video shorts, we're going to dive into and share some thoughts about a Greek word for each Sunday in Lent, along with Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Easter. So, get ready to explore and reflect with us this Lenten Season.
Lenten Series
Thursdays 5:30-7pm
This year our Thursday evening Lenten series will be on the Eucharist and is entitled "The Meal that Jesus Left Us". Each week we will look at Communion from a variety of perspectives including the "building blocks" or what constitutes a Eucharistic Prayer in the Christian Tradition, New Zealand Anglican, Episcopal, Methodist and UCC churches. It will also be experiential, offering an opportunity to worship in these different styles to note similarities and differences. We hope you can join us each Thursday in Lent beginning with a light supper at 5:30 pm followed by an hour-long program at 6pm!
