Easter is just a few days away. We have trombones in worship and wonderful food in Bradfield and the sermon, I'm focusing on resurrection and new life--for us, in Ukraine, and everywhere.
Last year, we had worship in the parking lot and online. In 2020, we had a worship video. This year we're back in the sanctuary (hooray!) and livestreaming on Youtube. Come join the celebration of new life!
Before we get to Easter, we have two special worship services.

|
Tonight, we remember Jesus giving the disciples a new commandment, to love one another (John 13). "Maundy" is derived the the Latin "mandatum" which means commandment.
|
|
The book and the service follow the four verbs that we hear at communion: TAKEN (chosen), BLESSED, BROKEN, and GIVEN. Learn more about the service HERE. Join us at 7:00pm in person or on our YouTube channel.

On Good Friday, April 15, we gather to remember the crucifixion of Jesus. We'll hear the seven last words of Jesus, we'll nail our sins to a cross, and we'll pray for an end to suffering in the world.
Join us at 12 noon, in person or on YouTube.
Visit our Worship Headquarters for EVERYTHING you will need to worship with us online, including bulletin.

In Holy Week, we remember the reality of bad news, and we rejoice in the celebration of God news. God loves us and God loves the world. |

On the journey together,
