Here are this week’s updates to pass along to you:

 

  • Our 12:00 Noon Maundy Thursday service is now in the books. Tonight, our second Maundy Thursday Service will take place at 7:00 p.m.  This worship will have Holy Communion and at the end of the service, the altar will be stripped, symbolic of Jesus’ humanity being stripped from him at the hands of the Roman soldiers.

  • Tomorrow, we offer a choice of two worship services for Good Friday, one at 12:00 Noon and the other at 7:00 p.m.  Both services will be identical.

  • As you make your Easter plans, we will have an Easter Sunrise Worship Service with Holy Communion at 7:00 a.m. and another Easter Holy Communion service at 11:00 a.m. Both services will be identical.  Please keep in mind there will be no Sunday School classes this day as we will have our much-enjoyed Easter breakfast following the 7:00 a.m. service in Fellowship Hall.

  • Dave Korn will be available after both Easter Worship Services to take your photo as we update our Congregational Photo Directory.  If you will not be here on Easter, he will be available after both services on April 7.

  • Don’t forget your flowers for the wire cross that will be in front of the church on Easter Sunday.  If you choose to do this, you may bring flowers from your yard, if available, or they can be purchased at local stores.

  • We now have 17 signed up for our Congregational Litter Pick Up event.  This will take place on Saturday, April 6, from 9:00-11:00 a.m. If you have not yet signed up and want to join us, it is not too late.  Simply call Leslie Cox or Jamie Corrigan to find out our location to meet.  All supplies for this event will be provided, including: gloves, safety vests, grabbers and plastic bags.
