From the Desk of Pastor David, February 2026

Easter comes earlier than usual this year so the Lenten cycle will be upon us soon. We start with our “Ashes at the Elburn Train Station” event on Wednesday, February 18 at 6:00AM. All are welcome to join me to bestow a blessing on the early morning commuters.

Then we start our 5-week Lenten Bible study series on Wednesday, February 25. As usual, we will be hosting a soup lunch at Noon followed by a lecture series. This year the topic is: “Judaism: Christianity’s Foundation and Signpost.” A repeat of the Wednesday lessons will occur on the following Saturdays at 9:30AM with cake and coffee. The Wednesday lessons will run from February 25 to March 25 and the Saturday lessons will run from February 28 to March 28. Since the Wednesday and Saturday lessons are the same, feel free to drop in to either (or both!) as your schedule allows. We will be posting sign-up sheets soon.

After a four-year hiatus, we are bringing back our Seder Dinner celebration on Maundy Thursday, April 2 at 6:00PM. We will recreate the Passover meal that Jews around the world celebrate every year.
On Friday, April 3 we have our community Good Friday service with Country Covenant Church, Congregational Church and Burlington Methodist Church at Congregational Church on Empire Rd at 7:00PM. All are welcome to join us.

Finally, we will celebrate Easter, the high point of the Christian calendar, on Sunday, April 5. I look forward to worshipping with you as we continue to deepen our relationship with God and each other. Blessings to you all.
Blessings to you,  David
