"He Is Risen!"

John 20:1-18

In-person only at 8:00 AM

In-person and Live Stream to Facebook and YouTube at 10:30 AM

Good evening Church,

 

Join us this evening for an interactive and “child-friendly” Maundy Thursday service at 5:00 pm. We will begin by enjoying a “Lutheran Passover Meal” which we know as a “Potluck”. Annie will walk us through Holy Week with an interactive teaching, Alex will lead us in some singing and Patti will get all who want to help, to make communion bread for Easter Sunday. It’s going to be a fun evening!


Tomorrow, we will celebrate Good Friday with a special service at 7:00 pm in the evening. We will gather for our traditional service of Scripture readings, singing and gradual darkness. This is a powerful service. If you have never attended before, we invite you to come.


On Easter Sunday we will have two opportunities to worship our Crucified and Risen Messiah. Our plan is to do an outdoor service on the patio at 8:00 am. If the weather is not cooperating, we will bring the service indoors. We will also have our 10:30 service with lots of special music from our children and the bell choir.


Some of you have shared with us that you are traveling to be with family this weekend. We pray for safe travels and for joyous Easter gatherings. However, you plan to worship on Easter, we pray that your hearts and minds will be filled with Christ’s resurrection. He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!


A Blessed Easter to you all!
