Spring Forward!
Don’t forget to change your clocks when you go to bed Saturday night, March 13.
Welcome…
No matter where you are on your journey and no matter what your faith background is or has been, East Church extends a warm welcome, inviting all of God’s children to share in our common life.
If you are new to the area, or looking for a church home; if you are seeking a safe and caring environment for your children, a creative Christian Education program, or a place to nurture your own spiritual life, join us on Sunday morning for worship.
Holy Week at East Church
Holy Week, the climax of the Christian Year, begins with Palm Sunday (March 28) and ends with Easter (April 4). East Church has so many special services and activities during that week we have added a separate page just to list and describe them!
Please have a look at the descriptions on our Holy Week 2010 page. We hope it might be a week filled with meaning, remembrance and inspiration for you all.
East Congregational Church, UCC is an Open and Affirming Congregation in the United Church of Christ. We are a vibrant community of faith that strives to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. East Church welcomes the spiritual pilgrim and our congregation includes people from a variety of backgrounds and faith traditions. From this diversity we believe we gain a greater understanding of the way God is present in our lives. Together we walk this journey of faith, listening for the voice of our Still Speaking God. As followers of Jesus Christ, we believe that we can make a difference in the lives of people and in our world through the transforming power of the Gospel. Through engaging worship and study, we continue to grow in the Spirit and live our faith, building and serving community.
Blessing and Peace,
Rev. Sara Marean,
Rev. Eric Marean, pastors
