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”
March 18 “The Case of the Missing Donut”

April 01 “Easter Breakfast”

Palm Sunday will be observed on Sunday April 05 with communion and the presentation of the Palms.
