We hope you'll be able to find some time to spend with scripture this week. If you'd like to spend some time with this week's text using the Lectio Divina contemplative scripture reading format, here is this week's video with readings and guided silent reflection.

May Christ's peace be with you all.

This week's scripture is another post-Easter encounter with the risen Christ - the story of the stranger on the toad to Emmaus in Luke chapter 24. We hope you'll be able to set aside some time to spend with this week's scripture, and if you'd like to use the "Lectio Divina" contemplative format of scripture reading, here is this week's video.

May Christ's peace be with you all

Each week, on Tuesday mornings, we gather in the sanctuary at 11:00AM to read and reflect on the week's scripture using the "Lectio Divina" format. For those who are unable to make it on Tuesdays, we hope you'll set aside some time to spend with scripture this week and, if you'd like to use the Lectio Divina format, here is this week's video!

May Christ's peace be with you all.

All are invited to gather around Christ’s table for a service of communion in observation of Maundy Thursday tonight (April 2nd) at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary.

The term “Maundy” is from the Latin “mandatum” - command/mandate - referencing Jesus’ new commandment that he gives to the disciples at the last supper: “Love one another as I have loved you.” (John 13:34)

May Christ’s peace be with you all.

We hope you'll be able to set aside some time to spend with scripture this Holy Week! If you'd like to spend some time reflecting on the Gospel of John's account of the resurrection, you are in luck! It is this week's scripture for our Lectio Divina contemplative scripture reading video!

If you are looking for worship opportunities this week and would like to worship together at Finley, our Maundy Thursday/Last Supper service, a more somber, reflective, evening service will be on Thursday, April 2nd at 7:00PM in the sanctuary.

On Easter morning, we'll gather in the sanctuary for an early "The Son is Risen!" service of communion at 8:30AM followed by a potluck breakfast at 9:00, Easter egg hunt at 9:45 and Easter morning worship at 10:30!

May Christ's peace be with you all!

Here is a link to our Palm Sunday worship service where we considered the ups and downs of Holy Week and asked "what happens when our expectations aren't met?"

If you are looking for a church this Holy Week, we would love the opportunity to worship together!

The Maundy Thursday service of communion is a more somber service reflecting on the Last Supper. This service will be held at 7:00PM, Thursday April 2nd in the Finley Sanctuary: the invitation from Christ to his table extends to all - all are welcome and invited!

On Easter Sunday, April 5th, we'll begin with our early "The Son has Risen!" service of communion at 8:30AM: the early morning sunlight pouring through Finley's Rose Window is a sight to behold!

After the early service, everyone's invited to a potluck breakfast in our fellowship hall at 9:00 and then move to the front lawn for the annual Finley Easter Egg Hunt at 9:45!

We'll then all gather to celebrate the good news that the tomb is empty and Christ is risen at our 10:30AM Easter Sunday worship service!

May Christ's peace be with you all!

We are so grateful for our Shenandoah Presbytery connections - especially our local “Better Together” group and all the ways we are able to serve, learn, and worship together!
