Lent meditations with scriptures for Holy Week

Palm Sunday, March 20 10:50 a.m.

We'll begin in the fellowship Hall and process with palms and singing into the sanctuary for a service of special music and readings to prepare for our journey to the foot of the cross.

Maundy Thursday, March 24, 7 p.m.

In a service of dramatic readings, ritual movement and Holy Communion, we will remember Jesus' last meal with his friends, his washing of their feet as a model of servant ministry, and his preparation for self-sacrifice on the cross. The sanctuary will be made bare in preparation for our journey to the foot of the cross.

Good Friday, March 25, 7 p.m.

This service will feature a dramatic reading of the Passion story, with gradual darkening of the sanctuary (Tenebrae), followed by silent prayer.

Easter Sunrise, Sunday March 27. Gather at 6:00 a.m. Worship at 6:30 a.m.

In a simple service of quiet prayer, simple music and meditation, we'll gather on the church lawn to welcome the dawn, and celebrate the Resurrection, followed by a continental breakfast in the fellowship hall.

Resurrection Celebration with Holy Communion, Sunday, March 27. 10:50 a.m.

In a festive service of worship we will flower the Easter Cross, share special music, and come to the Lord's Table as we welcome the Risen Lord anew into our midst.
(Note: We'd like everyone to contribute a fresh flower to the Easter cross, so start cultivating your gardens to get them ready! Some people will bring plenty of extra flowers to share, so come even if you don't have a flower!)
