In thankfulness:

Our 2025 pastoral letter from Megan and Jeremiah has been published. Click here to read along, and join us in celebrating the many gifts God has poured out this past year. Please also take a moment to review the five key ways we want to be praying together in 2025.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

For campus, on campus:

Our next campus prayer walk will be after worship on Sunday, March 9th. Save the date, as we’re doing something extra special next month. After some time of prayer on campus, we’re going to land at Nippert to cheer on the UC women’s lacrosse team! The game starts at noon. Let’s go gals! Hope you can join us for the fun!

Towards justice:

The next UCC Justice Group meeting will take place after worship on Sunday, March 2nd. Come be part of this monthly gathering, where we’ll continue to process what’s unfolding in our nation, then discuss direction and focus for the group in times such as these. Come with passion, compassion, and a heart for prayer. Gather in the cafe side room about ten minutes after worship concludes. There's no need to RSVP, but if you have questions about the group, direct them towards Randy and/or Jack (who will be facilitating in Randy's absence this month).

Through wilderness:

Lent is nearly upon us! What does it mean to be a disciple, and to disciple others, during this season—a season defined by its emphasis on waiting and preparation, on prayer and reflection, on suffering and self-denial? We're going to enter into this 40-day period in a few focused ways this year.

Here are three invitations:

1. Participate in the Ash Wednesday Prayer Journey on March 5th at UCC. Click here for details;

2. Engage in daily scripture readings through the Gospel of John. Reading guides will be available on Sunday mornings, and will include instructions for ways we want to be praying and fasting together;

3. Participate in a Table Group. Click here for details.

We look forward to entering into this set-aside season together, UCC.
