Schenectady Lenten UMC Cooperative Services (Mar 11-Apr 8)
From Pastor Kate:

Beloved Friends,

Welcome to the season of Lent! I hope the walk to the cross produces depth and is fruitful in your lives. This is a time of reflection and a time of connection. A time of quiet and a time of seeking. We will be honoring connection here at Eastern Parkway during Lent by participating in the Schenectady Lenten UMC Cooperative Services. We will join in fellowship and worship each Tuesday at 6:30 PM during Lent. You can join us for lay-led worship as well as communion at Faith UMC on March 11, Scotia UMC on March 18, Alplaus UMC on March 25, Rotterdam UMC on April 1, and Eastern Parkway UMC on April 8. Our very own Mary Neitzel will be leading worship at Rotterdam UMC on April 1. Additionally, I will be co-officiating a Tenebrae Service on Good Friday at 6:30 PM at Alplaus UMC. There will be a collection to benefit UMCOR at each service. I am so excited to see the United Methodist Churches of Schenectady joining together in Collaborative Ministry in this way! I hope you will join with us as we come together to honor the Lenten journey and the life of Christ!

In One Peace,

Pastor Kate

Following the conference will be a chili supper in the narthex. Please add your name to the pink sheet in the hallway outside the narthex indicating if you would like to bring chili (if possible in a slow cooker or other appliance to keep it warm), rolls, dessert, or beverage. Choir rehearsal will start at about 7:30 PM.
