Honoring the Season of Lent

Thank you to everyone who attended the Ash Wednesday service at Monaca UMC on February 18th! Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, a 6½-week journey culminating in the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Monaca UMC and our sister church, Aliquippa First UMC, are hosting a number of activities and events to honor this season of reflection and repentance. Let’s attend and deepen our faith together!
