Interactive prayer stations were set up throughout the sanctuary, designed to take people through the story of Holy Week. People moved through at their own pace, grinding wheat, washing feet, receiving communion, praying, making pretzels, creating garden critters for an Easter mural, and experiencing prayerful reflection in our labyrinth. It was a beautiful interactive journey.

Worship was filled with palms, Sunday School was busy making communion bread and remembering Jesus’ last supper, and the whole congregation gathered outside for a neighborhood palm parade – with ponies! Our festive day ended with pony rides for all who wanted them, including some staff. 🙂

On Sunday, January 22nd, WCUC celebrated the confirmation of four thoughtful, engaged, and gifted young people in our community: Brooke Hosford, Jillian Arthur, Jacob and Luke Torgerson. We are so grateful for their courage and generosity in sharing their wisdom during the service. The festive reception that followed was a wonderful way to celebrate their year of exploring Christian faith and practices. Thanks be to God for these remarkable people!
