Trusting that snowstorms and winter are finally behind us, we look forward to the reality of spring that brings new life!!
Holy Week begins Sunday! Join us for worship as we begin with the procession of the palms and conclude with the Passion story. Take your palm branches home as a reminder throughout the week of what Jesus was willing to endure for us and for this world God so loves.
Maundy Thursday gather and remember as we hear Jesus say, “Thy will be done” before he is taken away to his suffering and death.
Good Friday both Word and song will lead us through the Lord’s Prayer and the Seven Last Words of Jesus as we remember that it is our sin that nailed him to the cross. We leave in silence and darkness, looking forward to the promise of life out of death.
Easter Sunday offers three opportunities to celebrate resurrection (worship at 6:30, 8:30, & 10:30) as well as Easter Brunch from 9:30-10:30!
Hopefully you’ll be able to share with all of us in these meaningful and life-giving services. If you’re going to be traveling this Easter season, please be safe and enjoy the time with family and friends.
Peace & Blessings!
Pastor Marlene
