UPCOMING EVENTS AT PENNSBURG UCC

Community

Lenten

Services

 

This year PUCC will again be participating in Community Lenten Services with the historically Reformed Churches in the UP Valley.  The Theme for the Wednesday Evening Services is “The Call to I AM.”  In John’s Gospel, there is found a series of five I AM statements of Jesus, as he attempts to explain to us who he is.  Central to the statements is the understanding that Jesus was fully human and ALSO fully God.  Each week, we will explore the meaning behind these statements.

 

Below is the schedule for the Community Services, including the schedule for Holy Week’s Community Services:
