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.
Maundy Thursday Dinner Church Service
Thursday, April 2nd at 7PM in Fellowship Hall
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
Friday April 3rd at 7PM in the Sanctuary
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.
