Lenten Book Study: The Universal Christ
Sundays at 7:00 PM on Zoom
Beginning February 15
This Lent, join Pastor Tammy for a gentle and meaningful journey through The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr — a hope-filled exploration of recognizing Christ not only in worship, but in everyday life, in one another, and even in places of struggle and sorrow.
We begin on Sunday, February 15 (the Sunday before Lent) to prepare our hearts for the season ahead. Each week we’ll gather for reflection, conversation, and prayer as we walk toward Easter together. Pastor Tammy will also weave in insights on grief and shared humanity to help us hold space for both sorrow and hope.
You don’t need to be an expert reader — just bring a willing heart.

Let’s learn to see Christ everywhere — together.
Along the Road
A Shared Lenten Worship Journey
Lent is a season of movement—of reflection, repentance, hope, and renewal. It is not meant to be walked alone.
Along the Road is a shared Lenten worship series hosted by the churches of the Seymour–Oxford Clergy Group, bringing congregations together each Wednesday during Lent for food, worship, and community.
Each gathering begins with a simple soup supper at 6:15 PM, followed by worship at 7:00 PM. Throughout the season, worship rotates among the participating churches, allowing us to experience Lent through different sacred spaces while remaining united in prayer and purpose.
Though locations change, the heart of the series remains the same:
-
A shared table
-
A shared journey
-
A shared commitment to walking the Lenten road together
These services are intentionally simple and welcoming. Whether you attend every week or just one, whether this is a long-standing tradition or something entirely new to you, you are invited. Come as you are. Bring a friend. Bring your questions. Bring your hunger—for soup, for worship, for connection.
Lent reminds us that faith is not just about destination, but about the road itself—and who walks beside us.
Below is the full Along the Road schedule, including host churches for each Wednesday.
All are welcome at every service.
Young Voices, Holy Moments
Children Leading Us in Worship During Lent
During Lent, we are creating space for our children to help lead us in worship through Young Voices, Holy Moments. This season-long invitation welcomes children to participate in visible, meaningful ways that honor their voices, creativity, and growing faith.
Lent is a journey we walk together — and our children are an important part of that journey.
Why This Matters
Young Voices, Holy Moments is about more than participation. It’s about helping children experience worship as something they belong to, not something they watch from the sidelines.
When children lead, our whole community is reminded that God speaks through voices of all ages.
