“For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building.” ~ 1 Corinthians 3:9
Welcome to Smith Memorial Congregational Church, UCC! We strive to be a congregation that seeks to offer you a genuine community and a true extravagant welcome; no matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here. Our Church is deeply committed to making a difference in our local communities and the world. We gather for worship on Sundays to be spiritually nurtured so that we can, as disciples of Christ, put our faith into action beyond the four walls of the Church.
We offer streaming of our services on Facebook for those unable to attend in person: https://www.facebook.com/smithmemorialucc/.
Palm Sunday – April 13
At our 10:30 service we will receive and wave palms to commemorate the joyful celebration of Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, yet fully aware of the week ahead.
Maundy Thursday – April 17, 7pm
In this somber service, we retell the story of the Last Supper as we share the bread and cup, and we hear the betrayal of Judas, the falling away of the disciples, the arrest of Jesus and the sound of him being crucified.
Good Friday – April 18, 3pm
We will reflect on the seven last words of Christ and then participate in a new hands-on activity for reflection on the crown of thorns and purple robe, nailing a piece of wood, tasting the bitterness Jesus was offered to drink, rolling the dice, and placing written thoughts in a basket at the foot of the cross.
