Sign up for the Maundy Thursday Prayer Vigil
A longtime tradition of the church is the keeping of a vigil after the Maundy Thursday service, prayerfully keeping watch with Christ on the night before the crucifixion. We will keep the Maundy Thursday vigil in the healing chapel on Thursday, April 18, from 8:30 p.m. until 12:00 AM. A signup sheet is available in the back of the church, near the healing chapel.

Lenten Children's Chapel
(10AM)
:
Barbara Ferry, Cindy Winder and Ann Enkiri co- lead the children in giving thanks for this season of Lent, when we are focusing on learning The Lord's Prayer and exploring how this prayer helps each one of us. The children are appreciating their prayer beads and the Gospel crafts that precede worship. We are ready to welcome visitors and newcomers!
Lenten Sunday School
(after the 10AM Service)
:
While each age-group explores Sunday's Gospel, our upcoming Lenten lessons and activities will focus on celebrating Jesus' life, learning about the events of Holy Week, and sharing the ways our Episcopal liturgies commemorate those events. Please join us as we make handprint Holy Week books to share at home over the next three Sundays. Parents, you are invited to join us and "give a hand." Thanks to Andrea Dorf, Stephanie Feller, Liz Quinn and John Ward for their leadership!
