Hey, Grace’rs, 

(All livestream services are on Facebook.com/communityofgraceaz. When you start viewing, hit the “watch party” link and that will put the service on your Facebook page so others can join you…even if you are watching it tape delayed. Or, share the service after you’ve watched it. If you have not yet done so, go to the page and hit “like” and “follow” to keep track of all things Grace during this pandemic.)

Our Easter Weekend begins Friday Night at 6 with our Good Friday Prayer Service ( Facebook.com/communityofgraceaz)
Good Friday
You will want to have small pieces of paper and something to write with for the end of the service.
Easter Service. The Livestream begins Saturday@5 pm at facebook.com/communityofgraceaz and will be available all weekend. 
Easter
The Easter Theme: The Audacious, Irresistible Laughter of Easter.

Make sure you download the kids worksheet and have bread/wine/grape juice ready for communion. You might want to make Easter special and dress up as you would for a regular Easter Service and perhaps watch at your normal worship time. In the comment section let people know you’re there and connect with people you’ve not seen in awhile.
Raise a Light to Raise Hope. This 10 minute Solidarity event begins at 7:00 pm on Easter Sunday Night. 
Head outside by 7 with a candle, flashlight or your cell phone flashlight. Join us at Facebook.com/communityofgraceaz for a guided time of prayer. Please let your friends know about this. You can go to our Facebook page and share the event as an invite or via the post we have created here. I’ll be on Facebook at about 6:55 to make sure we’re all ready to go by 7. (Take a photo of yourself/group or video and post with the hashtag #AZRaisesHope.)
Texts: We have promised to be very selective about sending out texts but as this is a big weekend you will receive 4 texts:
  • One prior to Good Friday.
  • One prior to the Easter Livestream on Saturday.
  • One on Easter Sunday morning (not early!).
  • And one prior to Raise a Light to Raise Hope Sunday evening.

Then back to once a week on Saturday.
