The season of Lent at South Highland offers all a reminder to examine ourselves in the light of God’s love, perceive where our devotion to Christ may have cooled, and pray to honestly repent – all in anticipation of the joyous celebration of Jesus’ Easter Sunday resurrection. Join us as we make this journey together.
Lenten Devotional Guide
This year’s Lenten Devotional Guide leads us to daily scripture readings on each week’s theme, plus guidance on reflection and a daily prayer rubric. Look for copies of the Guide around the church, or click here to download a PDF.
Wednesday “Supper and Sacrament”
Wednesdays in Lent beginning March 12 will feature an opportunity for family-friendly worship at 6:30 p.m. in the beautiful South Highland Chapel.

April 13 – Palm Sunday
Celebrate with us the triumphant entry into Jerusalem of Jesus Christ, as he begins his journey to the cross on Good Friday. Both services, at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m., will include the sacrament of Holy Communion.
April 17 – Maundy Thursday
This powerful evening worship service will center around Théodore Dubois’ choral work, The Seven Last Words of Christ. Following 5:00 p.m. supper and celebration of communion in Davis Family Hall, we gather at 6:00 in the Sanctuary for worship. The service will also be streamed live on our website, on Facebook and YouTube.
April 18 – Good Friday Noon Worship
Jesus is nailed to the cross, is tormented, speaks his last words, and gives up his spirit. The curtain in the temple is ripped from ceiling to floor. Come to the Sanctuary—now stripped of its paraments—for this meaningful service, or watch it by livestream. Followed by lunch in Davis Family Hall.

April 20 – Easter Sunday
“He is risen! He is risen, indeed!” Easter Sunday sees the Sanctuary beautifully adorned with fine flowers and includes some of our most favorite hymns and celebratory music, including the “Hallelujah” chorus, as Christ’s resurrection is celebrated. Both services this Sunday will be in the Sanctuary, with the 11:00 service available by livestream.
