Palm Sunday
Saturday, April 9 at 5:30 pm
Sunday, April 10 at 8 & 10 am
This solemn day marks the beginning of Holy Week. We begin by witnessing Jesus' triumphal procession into the city of Jerusalem, where the people greeted Jesus enthusiastically, waving palm branches. It ends with the confusion and fear that leads to the cross. The passion narrative will be read.

Maundy Thursday
April 14 at 5:30 pm
On Maundy Thursday, we hear John’s powerful account of Jesus’ last meal with his friends. We witness the Lord and Teacher washing the feet of his disciples. We remember His “new” commandment (Maundy being the Latin word for commandment) “that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” The Choir sings "O Taste and See" by Ralph Vaughan Williams (Dana Clearwater soprano solo.)

Good Friday
April 15 at 5:30 pm
Stations of the Cross, 2 pm
Traditionally a solemn day of fasting and penance, Good Friday commemorates the passion, or suffering and death on the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. We remember the suffering He endured for our sake. We are reminded of the depths of His love for us so that we could receive the gift of eternal life.

The Great Vigil of Easter
April 16 at 8 pm
(No 5:30 pm service)
A new fire is kindled and the Paschal candle lit. Then, on a journey from darkness to light, we hear the history of salvation from the fall in the Garden of Eden, to the new hope that comes with Jesus’ resurrection. Our Easter joy is crowned as we gather around Jesus’ table to share his life once more in the bread of life and cup of salvation. We celebrate the Resurrection with the "Exsultet" intoned by Gene Tobey.

Easter Sunday
Sunday, April 17 at 8 & 10 am
Join us Easter Sunday as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the new life He brings for all of us. Our Easter joy will be reflected in the music. The opening Voluntary will be the festive Dialogue by 18c French composer Louis Marchand. The choir will sing the anthem "Hark Ten Thousand Harps" and "Voices" by contemporary American composer Craig Courtney. Gene Tobey will sing "We Walk by Faith," arranged by Alfred Fedak at Communion. Hymns will include the Easter favorites "Jesus Christ is Risen Today" and "The Strife is O’er."
Be sure to come to our Easter Egg Hunt after the 10 am service! Meet at the tether ball court. Invite your family and friends!

HEALTH & WELLNESS
Spiritual Corner
By Yvonne Tso, spiritual companion/director and member of the Health & Wellness Team
Behind our house is a pond with a fountain. On days when it is sunny and I look at the fountain from a certain angle, there is a rainbow in that fountain! I am surprised every time, because I don’t know exactly what angle to look from, and so I don’t know exactly when I will see the rainbow.

This Lenten season, our youth traveled through the desert, learning about how God keeps his promises and thinking about where God will take each of us after leaving the desert. They packed their Lenten toolbox with items to signify their journey. Hear their story> | |
