Holy Week at Zwingli

Journeying through Holy Week:

from the Table, to the Cross, to the Empty Tomb

In this holiest week of our Christian journey, let us not skip lightly from Palm Sunday “hosannas!” to Easter morning “hallelujahs!” Take time for stillness as you consider our Lord’s ultimate sacrifice for us. Watch in silence at the foot of the cross, and make time to feel the emptiness of Holy Saturday. When we have gone through the suffering, and death, and the silence of His death, how much more can we truly comprehend the magnificence of New Life and His empty tomb on Easter morning!

Maundy Thursday, March 28, 6:30 pm

Our worship will recall the last night of Jesus’ life (John 13), as we gather around tables for portions of the Seder meal. Handwashing will help us recall how Jesus washed the disciples’ feet in the manner of a servant, and then commanded us to love and serve one another in the same way. We will receive communion, remembering how Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper.

Easter Sunday, March 31, 9:30 am

Celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord with Holy Communion

It’s Time to Share!

One Great Hour of Sharing® (OGHS) is one of four special mission offerings of the United Church of Christ. This Lenten Offering supports the disaster, refugee, and development ministries of the United Church of Christ within Wider Church Ministries. We will receive offerings for OGHS through the end of March

Coming in April

Conversations on "Gathering"

In the weeks following Easter, we will be exploring what it means to be the CHURCH (and specifically Zwingli UCC) through our own intentional conversations inspired by Priya Parker’s book, The Art of Gathering.

How do our gatherings help or hinder our calling to be Christ’s followers? Who – and how - do we include or exclude? Would the ways in which we gather for worship, or study, or fellowship look different if we were more intentional about who God is calling us to be as Zwingli UCC?

Our Conversations on “Gathering,” will follow worship on Sundays, April 14, 28, and May 19. All are encouraged to attend at least one, if not all of these sessions. Refreshments will be served on April 14 and May 19, and on April 28 we will have a potluck to sustain you. Discussion points will be provided - you do NOT need to read the book to participate. If you would like a copy of the book, please sign up on the sheet just outside the sanctuary door (suggested donation $8-12).
