Holy Week Services
Together, we walk with Jesus through love and betrayal, death and hope, grief and joy—gathering in worship to remember, reflect, and celebrate the promise of resurrection.
On Maundy Thursday, we remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples—the night he shared a meal, washed his disciples’ feet in an act of servant love, and gave the commandment to “love one another as I have loved you.” At UDLC, we gather for Dinner Church, sharing a meal together as worship unfolds around the table. Through food, Scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion, we experience the depth of Jesus’ love and the gift of table fellowship that continues to shape the life of the church.

Good Friday Tenebrae Service
On Good Friday, we gather for a Tenebrae service—a service of shadows—marked by Scripture readings, hymns, and special music. As the service unfolds, light is gradually diminished, drawing us into a time of deep reflection on Jesus’ crucifixion and God’s profound act of love for the world. This is a solemn and moving service, inviting us to sit with grief, mystery, and the depth of grace revealed at the cross.
8:30 Easter Sunday Service
We gather for a festive traditional Easter service celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. With the rich sounds of a brass ensemble, congregational hymns, Scripture, and proclamation, this service lifts up the joy and triumph of Easter and the promise of new life God offers to all.
10:30 Easter Sunday Service
This late-evening service offers a quieter, reflective close to Christmas Eve. Featuring traditional worship, special music, and Holy Communion, the service culminates in candlelight as we sing Silent Night together—sending us into the night bearing Christ’s light and peace.
