Tonight, March 30, at 7 pm
Some folks say this is one of their favorite services of the year. It's a reflective time to hear parts of the story of the Lord's final days leading to His resurrection. And we always have a special offering of the Holy Supper as a way of re-presenting the Lord's last supper with the disciples.
1. Early "sunrise" service, April 1, at 7 am - outdoors
This service is an informal, outdoor service to celebrate the wonder the
disciples expressed on hearing the news of the Lord's resurrection.
2. Easter Festival Family Service + Egg Hunt, April 1, at 11 am + Easter luncheon afterwards in Friendship Hall.
This service will feature one talk for adults and children, followed immediately by an egg hunt outside, then a luncheon. You are invited to bring an item for the potluck. The main dish will be provided by the ladies of the Women's Guild.
Smile! Easter
Photos!
Like last year, Christine Morey will once again take snapshots of anyone interested on Easter Sunday! Come a little before 11 am. It's an opportunity to celebrate our church community.
We welcome you to dedicate lilies to loved
ones
In addition to our traditional palm fronds on Palm Sunday, Elise has purchased Easter lilies to decorate the chancel this Sunday. For any contribution toward the cost of the lilies, you may also share a dedication to any loved ones. We will feature your dedication in the Easter Sunday Bulletin. Please let Elise or me know the names of whoever you want to honor and the
specific wording.
Do you know? Why does the date of Easter change year to year?
No one knows the exact calendar date when Jesus completed His
mission and rose from the tomb. The traditional timing of Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere. The full moon this Saturday also happens to be a blue moon. The reasoning behind the schedule is not theological, but it's fun to understand the background of the tradition.
