Holy Week 2026

The Underhill-Jericho community has a rich tradition of ecumenical Holy Week activities and worship services. We have found that journeying to the cross in a spirit of Christian unity deepens our connection to God and neighbor. As the world reels, may we find some peace walking together through the lonesome valley.

  • Palm & Passion Sunday worship (March 29) at 10:00 am with livestream (UCU)

  • Ecumenical Morning Devotions (March 30 - April 1) at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Devotion at 6:45 am with continental breakfast to follow. A separate kids track (PreK-elementary) will be offered concurrently by Pastor Jen. The kids will lead the morning devotion on Wednesday.
