March 28: Palm Sunday, 8:30 and 11:00 am

April 1: Maundy Thursday, 7:00 pm
Maundy Thursday is a worship service remembering the upper room. We will gather around tables in the fellowship hall to hear the words of Christ and to break bread. There is a special role in the service for young readers. (Nursery is available for this service.)
April 2: Good Friday, 12:15 pm
Good Friday worship is a 45-minute service of reflection on the suffering and death of our Lord, using prayers, silent meditation, and song. (Nursery is available for this service.)
April 3: Holy Saturday Easter Vigil, 8:30 pm
This is sometimes called the first service of Easter. Readings from Scripture retell the story of God’s salvation culminating in the first Easter gospel reading. Since the earliest days of the church the vigil is a time for baptism of children and new believers. We will celebrate the sacrament of Holy Baptism and all have an opportunity to renew our baptismal vows.
April 4: Easter Sunday, 8:30 and 11:00 am
It is our custom to bring potted plants and flowers from our homes to process in and “dress” the communion table at the beginning of the Easter morning worship. At the end of worship, we gather our flowers and “dress” the tables for our EASTER BRUNCH in the fellowship space (10:00 am). Then, gather your flowers to enjoy at home.
For the brunch, please bring the following, according to the first letter of your last name:
A-B: Juice (no red juice—it stains the carpet!)
C-R: Coffee cake, muffins, bagels, breads, etc.
S-Z: Fruit or vegetables
Please have everything cut and plated—ready to serve.
