Lent begins at the United Church of Christ in Keene at noon on Ash Wednesday with a contemplative service, with communion and ashes, in the Chapel. This begins a Special Lenten Sermon Series that continues until Maundy Thursday, March 28.
The series will explore all the places where we find ourselves—not just the seemingly stable and blessed places, but the ones that feel like utter failure, tenuous and difficult. These are the places where Jesus says, “Do not be afraid, it’s me calling you out here to find the depths of your very soul.”
This Special Lenten Sermon Series explores the proposition that our best help on life’s journey often comes from the most unlikely and misunderstood of places: a place known famously, or infamously, as the Dark Wood, explored in Eric Elnes’ book, Gifts of the Dark Wood.
Have you failed recently? Do you feel lost, or like the road ahead is unclear? Do you feel out of place among your peers, or society at large? Come join the worship service each Sunday morning at 10 am at UCC-Keene, 23 Central Square, Keene. There’s an accessible entrance on Vernon Street and an elevator leading to the Sanctuary.
The Service also live-streamed on Sundays at 10 am at ucckeene.org.
