Holy Week

Seeking: Where are you headed?
Our scripture focus will be the Palm Sunday story, as recounted in Matthew 21:1-11. After the worship service, you are invited to join in a 0.7-mile processional, beginning at noon, from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church up the road to the Burlington UCC. The procession will be led by Clyde, the mini-horse or a goat if Clyde can’t make it. All are invited. Water, Lemonade and cookies will be served outside of the UCC church when finished.

Seeking: Will you wash my feet?
On Maundy Thursday, we will join with the Burlington UCC at their church building for a simple soup supper and worship service at 7 PM in Sewell Hall (6 Lexington Street, Burlington, MA 01803). This solemn service is not recommended for young children.

Good Friday

Seeking: Why have you forsaken me?
Join us at 3 pm outside the Burlington Ice Detention Center (1000 District Ave) for The Seven Last Words: An Ecumenical Worship Service on Good Friday. We hope you will gather with us to mourn, lament, and hope as we wait for the Good News of Resurrection. Pastor Trina will give one of the reflections during this service.

In the evening, our church will host a service that leaves space for silence, sorrow, and solace at 7:00 pm in our sanctuary, also with the UCC Church.

Easter Sunday
05 April, 10:30am

Seeking: Who are you looking for?
Join us at 9:00 am for Easter breakfast; there will be fruit, eggs, bacon and pancakes for all. We will celebrate the Resurrection on Easter Sunday at 10:30am! Our scripture focus will be the Easter Story as recounted in John 20:1-18. When Mary finds the tomb empty, she stands weeping at the vacant grave. Jesus, mysteriously appearing as the gardener, asks her: “Why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” It is only when Jesus calls her by name that the veil is lifted and she beholds the resurrected Christ. On this Easter morning, who—or what—are you looking for?
