The 50 days after Easter in the United Church of Christ (UCC) constitute the season of Eastertide—or the Great Fifty Days—a joyful period celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus and anticipating Pentecost. It moves from the celebration of Christ's resurrection toward the birth of the Church, closing on Pentecost Sunday. 
 
 
  • Joyful Celebration: Unlike Lent, the 50 days are a time of feasting, celebration, and reflection on the power of the resurrection.
  • Significance of 50 Days: This period represents a "week of weeks," beginning with Easter Sunday and culminating 50 days later, representing completeness, freedom, and new life.
  • The Ascension: Within this period, the Ascension of Christ is typically observed, marking the completion of his mission on earth.
  • Pentecost Sunday: The 50th day is Pentecost, celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles and the birth of the church. It is often celebrated with the color red to symbolize the tongues of fire.
  • UCC Focus: This time is often used to emphasize the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in modern life and the empowerment of the church to carry out its mission in the world.

Here at the United Church of Christ, both our authorized ministers and our lay leaders carry out the mission and ministry of our churches day in and day out. As our congregations transform lives and reach out in their communities with God’s love and compassion a real and significant difference is made through our congregation. The core values of the United Church of Christ include Changing Lives, Extravagant Welcome and Continuing Testament.  These values help to clarify who we are and what we value. We are called to speak with a clear voice and to find ways to welcome those who are searching for a church like ours.
