Pastoral Letter
Dear friends,
If you joined us for worship on Sunday, you know that we did something a little different this time around. There were two, short sermons – meditations, really – instead of the usual one, robust proclamation. In preaching them, I was trying to answer the challenge of the last Sunday of Lent, the Sunday before Easter. When I was growing up, it was always Palm Sunday, complete with palm waving in the aisles and the inevitable palm origami (palm-igami? ori-palm-i?) in the pews. At FPC, we usually mark the day as both Palm and Passion Sunday, but so often that has really been Passion Sunday, resigning the palms to the downtown procession through very beginning of the service – right up until the confession of sin, when things turn toward the cross. Read the rest of John's letter HERE.
Siblings in Christ, may your Holy Week be holy this year and may it end in resurrection joy – at FPC or among some other gathering of the faithful. Happy Easter!
John Weicher
