April 20, Easter Sunday
8:30am & 11:00am, Sanctuary (no separate Basic English Service)
Morning worship begins with a procession of flowers to dress the communion table. It is our custom at Church of the Servant to bring potted plants and flowers from our homes to process in and “dress” the communion table with them at the beginning of the Easter morning worship. We will gather our flowers and dress the tables for our celebrative Easter Brunch (10:00-11:00am) in the fellowship space, and then gather our flowers to enjoy at home. You are invited to participate in this tradition. Our Basic English Service friends will join us.
Parents: Children’s Worship and Little Lambs will not be offered Easter morning to allow children to worship with their families in the sanctuary.
6:00pm, Sanctuary
Easter Sunday evening worship will center around testimonies of three individuals and what the resurrection means to them. Those sharing this Easter are Melissa Sells, Robert Rozema, and Carol Roeda. This has been a favorite service of many — don’t miss it!
