Announcements 

Holy Week and Easter at UCCSV

3/28 - Maundy Thursday, 7pm: Join us for worship in the Gathering Room as we commemorate the Last Supper and experience worship stations including the practice of foot washing. We'll join together for communion in the round and go deeper in our spiritual reflection this Holy Week. This is an in person only service. 

3/29 - Good Friday, 7pm: This is our most solemn and holy night of the year as we remember Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. We start out our evening in light but as the music and scripture tells the story of Jesus' last hours, we slowly dim the lights and end by draping the cross in black. Be with us in the silence and difficult moments as we sit vigil with Jesus and pray for hope. Join us in person in the sanctuary or online on Zoom:
