Ash Wednesday – We observe the beginning of Lent with a quiet 7:00 p.m. service on Ash Wednesday. Readings, music, and prayers invite us to enter the season of preparing for Easter. – Easter Leamington Spa

Palm Sunday

The celebratory atmosphere and bold declarations offered by followers of Jesus stand in stark contrast to the betrayal, suffering, and death that follow. By reenacting some of that same celebratory atmosphere and bold declaration, we are reminded how easy it is to miss the message. Our current custom is to meet close to the church, at 9:45 a.m., with other Protestant churches in the neighborhood for an outdoor liturgy of palms. Folks from each of the three churches participate and then process while singing back to their separate churches.

Maundy Thursday – Share in this remembrance of the Last Supper.  Jesus built an inclusive community by crossing societal boundaries to eat with others, and you are invited to this 6:00 p.m. evening pot-luck service, which includes a communion service woven through the meal.  Bring a dish if you like, or just bring your appetite. Like Jesus, we have an open table.- Easter Leamington Spa

Good Friday

Part of preparing for Easter is confronting the cross. Our current custom is to hold a service of Tenebrae (Latin for shadows), which retells the story of the last day leading up to the death of Jesus, ending with that event. We leave a mostly dark sanctuary in silence.  Check the time of the service, as we adjust it for sunset.

Easter Sunday

Come celebrate the Resurrection! The joy and excitement of Easter comes to life in worship. Lilies decorate the sanctuary, special music fills the air, and we declare, “Christ is risen indeed!” – Easter Leamington Spa
