April Fools
Dear Covenant friends and family,
This is a journey for companions ~ come and find the meaning in it all.
MAUNDY THURSDAY
. When we enter the story through Taize music, the Tenebrae told in shadows,
and the Lord's Supper. (7:00 PM tonight)
GOOD FRIDAY
. When we encounter the seven last words of Jesus through powerful music, poetry, and prayer.
(7:00 PM Friday)
EASTER VIGIL
. When we begin in the courtyard with the fire pit and end in the Sanctuary as the earliest celebrants
of the resurrection. (8:00 PM Saturday)
And
EASTER MORNING
. When we celebrate the deathless love of God in Jesus Christ through the glory of music, word, sacrament, and much joy! (8:30, 10:00 Gathering, and 11:00.)
Grace and peace,
Tracy

*TGIGF (Thank God It’s Good Friday)
Fri., March 30, 9:30-11:30am
Children are not the only ones who wonder why this sad day is called good. We’ll talk about that, about how amazing it is that nothing ever can stop God’s love. We’ll learn about this Holy Week and the story of Jesus loving and loving. Make things, play games, eat hot cross buns and snacks and have a wonderful time. Cost is $5. Register:

April 3, 7pm, Lounge
Book & Movie Discussion:
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
Led by Katie Kinnison. A children’s book that adults treasure. The movie came to theatres March 9. Come discuss both. Books are on the welcome table and the cart in the hall.

|
1pm, 120 AND 7pm, Lounge
Philippians. Led by
Katie Kinnison. Joy is the melody line of this letter from Paul. Yes, complexities arise, but Paul loves the people to whom he is writing, and his joy – his desire that they find joy – simply cannot be contained. Can we find the notes of joy flowing in and through our lives?

More Easter Celebration and Children's Egg Hunt
Sun., April 8, 10am
Good news: Easter is a season, not just one day. We’ll have a wonderful morning celebrating Jesus continuing to be with us after the resurrection. Children start at the Gathering service at 10am and then head outside (or to the education wing if the weather is bad) for our Easter egg hunt. Bring empty baskets and join in the fun as we keep celebrating God’s unstoppable love.
