SUNDAY, APRIL 13 • PALM/PASSION SUNDAY

10:45 AM Worship – The Chancel Choir, Chapel Choir, and a string ensemble will lead us in worship on the last Sunday in Lent as we follow Jesus through the streets of Jerusalem, into Pilate’s chambers, and finally to the cross. We will welcome guest preacher the Rev. Dr. Chuck Poole to the pulpit.

THURSDAY, APRIL 17 • MAUNDY THURSDAY

7 PM Service – The Youth Choir and a string ensemble lead us in worship in the sanctuary. This night we hear anew the New Commandment given by Christ: to love one another and to serve with humility. We’ll serve communion to one another. The stripping of the altar reminds us of how Christ was deserted by his closest friends.

FRIDAY, APRIL 18 • GOOD FRIDAY

Noon Service – The Chancel Choir will lead us in a solemn remembrance of the Crucifixion through scripture, prayer, meditation, and song in the sanctuary. A simple soup lunch will be served afterward in the Fellowship Hall.

Flowering the Cross and Sanctuary

There are two ways you can contribute to this year’s joyful flowering of the Easter cross:

  • Bring your own fresh flowers, colorful symbols of new life, to adorn the cross in front of the sanctuary before worship on Easter Day.
  • Make a $20 gift to the Easter Flowers Fund in memory or in honor of a loved one. Funds will be used to beautifully adorn the cross and sanctuary with flowers before worshippers arrive, and your loved ones will be acknowledged in the Easter worship order.

Submit this form by Monday, April 14 to be included in the worship order.
