What is Holy Week?Holy Week is the week leading up to Easter, which is the celebration of Jesus's resurrection.
The week begins with a re-enacted parade as we wave palms and welcome Jesus on his final journey to Jerusalem. On Maundy Thursday, we gather at tables and remember Jesus's last meal with his disciples. We stare death in the face together on Good Friday when we remember Jesus's execution. And we kindle a small flame of new hope in the midst of darkness on Holy Saturday. Easter morning we go all out - celebrating the God-of-Eternal-Do-Overs in grand style. |
Easter is Sunday, April 9.Join us for a celebratory Easter morning! At 9:30 a.m. we'll have a potluck breakfast in our fellowship hall. Bring your favorite breakfast food to share and we'll have the coffee ready for you. Please bring your own table service to help us care for the environment and simplify clean up.
Easter worship is at 10:45 a.m. in our sanctuary or via Zoom. We'll have special music with our brass ensemble and our tradition of flowering the cross. We encourage you to arrive EARLY to enjoy music from the brass beginning around 10:30 a.m. Plan to stick around for the Kids' Easter Egg Hunt immediately after the service. | Click to Zoom for worship |
Lenten Continual Prayer Vigil, Mar. 31-Apr. 1During this Lenten season the Deacons would like to offer our congregation a chance to center ourselves with prayer. We will be holding a prayer vigil in our sanctuary. We will have 30 minute increments in which you can sign up for silent prayer beginning on Friday, March 31st at 6pm to continue until April 1st at 12:30 p.m. You're welcome to sign up for one or more slots. Many people have told us that a half-hour flies by very quickly!
Enjoy the quiet peace of our sanctuary and help us create a period of prayer and reflection. A basket with materials to guide your time will be provided. You may want to read devotionals or scripture, draw or color, create music, or simply rest in God’s presence. Invite a friend to join you if you’d rather have company during your shift! |
