Lenten Services
The Lenten season is a time of spiritual reflection and renewal.
The season begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days, representing the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness.
Communities Together organizes a series of Wednesday noontime services during Lent (see schedule on home page). These are open to all in the Greater Lawrence area (which includes Andover, Methuen, Lawrence and North Andover) and is followed by a light lunch and fellowship.
At these services we collect donations of diapers, pull-up diapers, and children’s underwear for distribution to service organizations in Lawrence for our Undies Sunday Drive.
Interfaith Thanksgiving Service
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever
Psalm 107:1
Throughout history, worshiping communities have set aside certain times and days for events of special thanksgiving.
Communities Together, Inc. hosts an Inter-faith Thanksgiving Service on the Thursday prior to Thanksgiving.
This is a beautiful celebration combining leaders of various faith traditions together with a common theme of unity, kindness, and love.
