Special Services
Ash Wednesday
The Reformed Church of Saugerties joins with the Flatbush Reformed Church for and Ash Wednesday service. This brief community wide worship marks the beginning of the Lent. The service will include the imposition of ashes as well as reflective music to set the tone of the season.
Maundy Thursday Service
The church holds it's annual Maundy Thursday collaborative service in the sanctuary. This service recreates the last days of Jesus’ life, leading up to his crucifixion on the cross through scripture and music. The progress is marked by the dimming of lights until, with the removal of the Christ Candle, we are reminded of the final isolation of Jesus in darkness on the cross.
Easter Services
In the past the church took part in a community wide Easter Sunrise Service at 7:00am at Opus 40. Set amidst the beautiful bluestone rock sculptures of artist Harvey Fite, the service takes place outdoors on a 70 acre open oasis. This brief community service celebrates the resurrection of Christ as the sun warms the crisp spring air and draws us into the joy of God’s creation. It is a blessed moment, a time when life and faith come together at once in a profound way.
Sanctuary Service
Our Easter morning sanctuary service will begin at 10:30am. With special music for the occasion, we will celebrate a defining day in our lives as Christians. Come worship with us as we honor the One who brings the true meaning of joy into our lives every day. We hope you and your family will join us.
Advent Walk
Each year the church, as a member of the Saugerties Area Council of Churches, takes part in the Advent Walk which marks the beginning of Advent Season. A series of five short (20 minute) services begin at First Congregational, onto the Reformed Church of Saugerties, and then arriving at United Methodist. A social hour follows at the United Methodist Church where finger foods are served for those who participate. Gift donations are accepted each year for abused children of Ulster County.
Christmas Eve Candle Light Service
Christmas Eve is celebrated at the church with a candle light service in the sanctuary beginning at 7:00 PM on December 24th. We celebrate with scripture and carols. Guest instrumentalists and soloists join the sanctuary choir for a glorious evening of music under the guidance of our gifted musical director Elizabeth Clark. Join us.
All are welcome.
