The PC(USA) affirms that “God has provided a rhythm of seasons which orders life and influences the church's worship”. It further confesses that “God's work of redemption in Jesus Christ offers the Church a central pattern for ordering worship in relationship to significant occasions in the life of Jesus and of the people of God.”

Therefore, the PC(USA) has come to observe certain days and seasons. These seasons and days include:

• Lent, “a season of spiritual discipline and preparation, beginning with Ash Wednesday, anticipating the celebration of the death and resurrection of Christ”,
• Holy Week, “a time of remembrance and proclamation of the atoning suffering and death of Jesus Christ”, and
• Easter, “the day of the Lord's resurrection and the season of rejoicing which commemorates his ministry until his Ascension and [which] continues through”
• the Day of Pentecost, “the celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church”.

As a congregation of the PC(USA), we fully participate therein. One aspect of this participation consists of a program of Lenten Studies. Our study sessions for this year are scheduled for:

• Thursday, March 10, consisting of Session 1, “The Last Supper”, and Session 2, “The Garden of Gethsemane”,
• Thursday, March 24, consisting of Session 3 “Condemned by the Righteous ” and Session 4, “Jesus, Barabbas, and Pilate”,
• Thursday, April 7, consisting of Session 5, “The Torture and Humiliation of the King”, and Session 6, “The Crucifixion”, and
• Wednesday, April 20, consisting of Session 7, “Christ the Victor”, and Bonus Session, “What if Judas Had Lived ”.

Other aspects are our various special congregational activities, and Worship and Youth services and observances during Lent, concluding with our Day of Pentecost celebration.
