You are invited to experience the Last Supper for yourself. This immersive service features hand washing (symbolic of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples), communion shared with others at your table, liturgy, music, prayers and prayer stations.
This traditional service observes Jesus’ death on the cross. GoodFriday proclaims God’s purpose of loving and redeeming the world even in the face of human rejection and cruelty through the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a day that is holy and makes us holy because God was drawing the world to God’s self in Christ.

Throughout Lent, we will look more closely at the seven last words (phrases or conversations really) of Jesus, while he awaited death by the cross. The book “Seven Words: Listening to Christ from the Cross” by Susan Robb will guide our journey.
One of the challenges of Lent is contemplating Jesus on the cross: the physical pain, the humiliation, and the undeniable injustice. It’s heartbreaking, and it’s natural to try and avoid the reality of how Jesus died. However, it is from the cross that Jesus shows his deepest love for us. We can learn from Jesus as he draws his final breath and utters his last words. In Seven Words, Susan Robb looks at Christ’s final words from a biblical and historical perspective, showing how we can find life and hope in them.
Books are available in the church office. Several small groups are using the text during Lent (see below). You can also access the study materials online via videos on Amplify Media.
Sunday Worship
You’re invited to worship, study and serve throughout Lent and Holy Week. In-Person Worship every Sunday at 9:15 am (Whitmore Lake) and 9:30 and 11 am (Brighton). Worship online Sundays at 9:30 am through Facebook or YouTube.
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent, a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline.
Ashes, made by burning the palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday, are offered to worshipers as a sign of repentence. As the ashes are placed on the forehead, words such as these are spoken: “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return,” recalling God’s words to Adam in Genesis 3:19
