Holy Week  intensifies our walk with Jesus. This week Jesus’s journey opens us to the remarkable presence of God.

Palm Sunday at 10:30am starts us off. Worship will open with the Palm Sunday proclamation and parade of palms with songs of rejoicing. Before the end of the service we will reposition ourselves for the passion story and let Holy Communion prepare us for the week.

HOLY THURSDAY celebrations will begin at 6:00pm with a Seder meal. Passover is an event of rejoicing and celebrating the awesome power and grace of God. Like the disciples, we will gather for a fun dinner, remembering the mighty acts of God’s liberation. Songs, hiding the afikomen, a dance, and nibbling a light dinner will make this a night to remember. Celebrating the Seder meal is to experience a richer fullness of Holy Communion and the soul deep impact of praying in the garden of Gethsemane.

Good Friday service will begin at 7:00pm in the sanctuary. The story of betrayal, abuse, and death of the beloved Jesus will be told through scripture and song. Good Friday is an intense experience of loss and hopelessness. Easter is powerful because of the pain and grief of Good Friday. It is a pain we all either have or will experience in this life. Come to worship and let your tears be witness to the gift of Jesus, even unto death.

Saturday will be a time of family joy. Kids and grownups are invited to the annual Easter Egg hunt. Laughter, candy, discovery, and just plain fun will be the plan for the day. Join us at 10:30 am.

Easter Sunrise at 6:30am will claim the act of God. He has Risen! Death no longer has power! Grief holds no dominion. The Lord of Life has risen from the grave.

The service will be followed by breakfast in the Fellowship Hall. Way to go Bob! Freshly cooked and served with a jovial laugh and friendly smile.

Easter Service at 10:30am will feature wonderful music, a great children’s time, and Holy Communion.
