Lent 2026

 

Good Friday Service

April 3, 2026

6:30 PM

 Throughout this season of Lent, we have learned about giving up control, expectations, superiority, popularity, our enemies, and our lives. Have you ever wondered what Jesus gave up on the cross before He gave up the ghost?

Come join us for our Good Friday service as we
reflect through music and readings on His seven last words as He gave up His
life for us on the cross.

Easter Sunday Service

April 5, 2026

Celebrate the Resurrection with us! OCUMC has a tradition of praise and thanksgiving honoring Christ’s sacrifice for each of us.
We’ve planned beautiful music and communion for this special Sunday. Our Cracked-Pots Sunday School class will host a time of fellowship with donuts and treats following worship.
