Lent and Holy Week
at COHS 2025

Please take a moment to look at reflections written by members and friends of our congregation based on daily readings during Lent. Did you know that there are daily Bible readings appointed for every day of the year? Our writers each chose a reading during Lent and were asked to read and reflect upon the Scripture, and offer a short reflection. We are so grateful for their thoughtful, prayerful offerings that will allow our COHS congregation to make the journey through Lent together.

Lenten Retreat Day

with Dr. Rev. Christian Brocato

Dates: Saturday, March 29 (now filled) and
Saturday, April 5 (a few spots still open)
Time: 10:00 - 12:00AM
Where: COHS Fellowship Hall

Lament can enable us to experience love and care from God and others around us. It isn’t always easy to let those ‘others in’ including God when we are deeply sad, emotionally a trainwreck or fully in touch with raw feelings too sensitive to share. And yet, we are not alone. 

Consider this retreat in the midst of our Lenten Journey and in the midst of a world rapidly changing around us. Through prayer, biblical passages, conferences and silence, we will explore the importance of lament in our lives of faith. 

The retreat will be limited to sixteen participants, and registration is required. Please click here to register (there are only a few spots open). I hope you will consider this opportunity.

The COHS Easter Egg Hunt will take place following the 10:15 AM service on Easter Sunday. Please consider contributing to the fun by picking up a bag (or two) of separated eggs to fill with treats—candy and non-candy!!

Things to remember:

• Egg bags will be available for pick up along the left wall of the main Church entrance.  

• Please fill your eggs with individually-wrapped candies to reduce germs and bugs.

• Please make sure the candy items contain NO NUTS.

• You may also choose to fill eggs with non-candy items, such as erasers, coins, individual stickers, individual temporary tattoos, small rings, rubber bracelets, etc.

Please return filled eggs by Sunday, April 20th, so they may be included in the Easter Egg Hunt. There will be a box in the same location in the main entrance of the church. Please reach out to Denise Kolsky, or Wendy Toth with any questions!

Thank you!
