SERVICES AT SLC

Easter Season

Join us for our annual Easter season activities with our beautiful and contemplative Ash Wednesday Service. We experience the beginning of Lent with a burning bowl and a special Phoenix Rising Ceremony, followed by a healing circle held on Wednesday evening at 6:45 p.m. at SLC, 24th & K.

Palm Sunday Services begins Passion Week or the “Week That Changed the World.” The events that Jesus set in motion created a story that continues to amaze and mystify us over two thousand years later. During this week Jesus experienced every emotion possible, great love, soul rattling fear, disappointment, abandonment, and finally the peace that passes all human understanding. It's a story that holds the "true secret" to life for each of us.

Holy Week Communion Service begins by sharing in spiritual communion as well as using the physical elements for those who would like to participate in the ancient ritual of breaking bread together. This simple and beautiful service is designed to fill our thoughts and feelings with a stronger realization of the presence of love in our hearts and in this place that will help connect you with your SLC family and the profound events of this sacred week.

We come together for God's Friday to commemorate the victory of the Christ Spirit over even the most horrific conditions. We will light the Christ candle to symbolize the everlasting light that shines within all of us. Our drama team will enact one of the most dramatic moments in history, the dramatic presentation of Jesus’ last hours ... a day where a shift took place in the consciousness of the world. The Ministry team will share with us the Seven Last Words of Jesus which provides a clear model for us to follow as we face our own trials. This is the most reflective and touching service we offer each year.

Easter Celebration Services are held at Pioneer Church and the sanctuary is filled with the joyous sounds of Easter as we celebrate victory of life over death and faith over fear. Be sure to join us as SLC bursts forth in joyful celebration of the risen Christ Light in each one of us. An Easter Egg Hunt is held after the second service at Sutter’s Fort Park.
