Good afternoon Church!

Sunday begins our Holy Week! Let’s review what we will offer this next week:

• We gather for palm branches and palm crosses and then we move to the cross. Join us for Palm/Passion Sunday this Sunday at 10:30 am.
• On Monday, join us at 11:30 am – 12:30 pm for our Lent, Lunch and Learn. We will focus on prayer this Monday.
• Then we move to Maundy Thursday with two worship options. We will have a brief worship service at 8:30 in the sanctuary for the church and school. In the evening we will gather from 5:00-7:00 for a family potluck for all ages and enjoy a meal together. After supper, we will learn more about what Holy Communion means to us as children and adults. We will end the night by baking flat bread to use on Easter morning for Holy Communion.
• Good Friday we will gather at 7:00 pm for a Service of Tenebrae, which means the reading of scripture about Jesus’ passion and the darkening of the lights.
• On Easter Sunday, we will have two worship options. Come and join us at 8:00 am on the patio for an outdoor Sunrise Service. Then at 10:30 we will gather inside the sanctuary for our Easter Celebration Worship Service.

Please remember to sign up to serve in the coming weeks. See the sign up links at the bottom of the e-weekly, above the prayer requests.

This Sunday we will look at the story of Saul’s conversion, when Ananias is called by God “to go to Straight Street, to the house of Judah.” We will focus on Acts 9: 10-19 as we look at the theme of “The Challenge of Discipleship!”
