UPCOMING EVENTS AT PENNSBURG UCC
Winter Worship
“Letters to Sam”
Our Winter Worship series is centered on the heartfelt letters that Daniel Gottlieb wrote to his grandson, Sam, when he was born. His motivation was the fear that he might not live long enough to see Sam reach adulthood. Daniel Gottlieb was a quadriplegic, and he knew enough not to take anything for granted. At 14 months old, Sam was diagnosed with Pervasive Develop-mental Disability, a form of autism. Daniel and Sam were bound by something more: a disability—and Daniel Gottlieb’s special understanding of what that means became invaluable.
If you would like to read "Letters to Sam", copies of the book are found in the back of the sanctuary and in the Tile Room. In addition, each week the chapter that will be discussed on the coming Sunday will be emailed to the congregation. Please join PUCC’s Worship Services in January and February as we talk about insights into what it means to be human found in “Letters to Sam.”

2026 Lent and
Holy Week Worship
The theme for Pennsburg UCC's worship services during Lent will be:
“A Covenant of Salt”
You may be familiar with Jesus’ teaching describing those who followed him as the “salt of the earth.” However, do you also know the important role salt played in the Jewish people’s lives from the very beginning of their calling to be God’s people. Their relationship with God was even called a “covenant of salt.”
This Lent join PUCC as we take a journey along a salt path, learning how God’s people understood the role salt played in their daily and religious lives, and informing our own lives with our “Covenant of Salt” with God and one another.
