A centuries old tradition in not only the Christian Church but also the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Episcopal faith communities – will be celebrated at St. John UCC in a more modern than traditional manner.

During each service the imposition of ashes will be offered. The church and the sanctuary are handicapped accessible.
Every Wednesday following will feature a message via a skit from a series this one set in a bakery/ A ‘bring your own brown bag supper’ will be from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall of the church. The Lenten Series Skit “Half-Baked Lent”. will be held at 6:00 to 6:25 p.m. followed by a time of fellowship.
The themes are:
March 11 “The Birthday Cake”
