We do almost everything together including education for all ages, service in the wider community, care of our land and our environmental stewardship efforts. We even worship together regularly throughout the year. Guests will encounter a vibrant community of faith that values relationships and community engagement and that actively lives out its faith every day of the week. Explore our website to learn more about our two individual congregations and about our partnership efforts and visit us on Sunday morning.

ReSet — ReLent — ReNew

Lent at the MCC
ReSet – As Jesus sets his face to toward Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 on Ash Wednesday), we are invited on that journey of dedication, resolving ourselves for what lies ahead.

ReLent – It’s not so much a god who relents from punishing, but how we dominate and harm others instead of offering care. (Plus, I love the seasonal pun!)

ReNew – The trajectory to new life at Easter is guided throughout by Romans 12:2.

Midweek in Lent
Continuing to expand on the midweek offerings of the past several years, this year there are multiple ways in community to gather and observe the season of Lent.

This programming continues for the five weeks of the season, beginning after the 1st Sunday in Lent (March 10) leading up toward Palm Sunday (April 14) and Holy Week.

At Church
Wednesday evenings will include gatherings at our church building. There will be House Church small groups with supper 5:30-7:00 p.m. downstairs. Worship with Holden Evening Prayer will be in the Covenant Room at 7:00 p.m.

Elsewhere
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings there will House Church gatherings away from church, Three of these are in homes, and one at a brewpub. You can find sign-ups at church or through the link in the Thursday email.
