Lenten Lollapalooza for our church school children
On Palm Sunday, March 24 the Church School Team will be hosting the Lenten Lollapalooza in Fellowship Hall during the regular church school time. All of the church school kiddos are invited to come and have fun with all new crafts! Paint will be involved, so please dress accordingly and/or bring a smock (we will have a few available here). It is bound to be a great time, and we look forward to seeing everyone there.
Palm Sunday Worship
Join us Sunday, March 24, at 10 am for the festal service of Palm Sunday. This day we will commemorate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and add the final pieces to our Lenten Prayer Garden. During church school time, the children have a Lenten Lollapalooza where they will have fun with all new crafts!
Lenten Lunches
The last of our Lenten Lunches will take place on Maundy Thursday, March 28 at noon. Even if you haven’t made it to any of the other lunches, you are very welcome to join us for this final one. The soup is always delicious and there’s good conversation.
Maundy Thursday service
On Maundy Thursday, March 28, all are invited to join the clergy and deacons at 7 pm in the Sanctuary for this service in which they celebrate communion, then read the story of the Passion with the extinguishing of candles in the traditional Service of Tenebrae. This is a particularly meaningful way to prepare for Good Friday and Easter. All are welcome.
Good Friday Labyrinth Walk
The church labyrinth will be open from sunrise to sunset on Good Friday, March 29. At noon, Rev. Racquel Ray will lead a brief prayer service at the labyrinth which is located behind the education building, just below the terrace. All are welcome.

Easter Sunday Service in the Sanctuary
All are invited to our 10 am service on Easter Sunday, March 31. The sanctuary will be decorated with spring flowers and the service will include preaching by the Rev.
