Worship with us this season of Easter!
 
April 11th, the Second Sunday of Easter.  We will worship with the New England Synod using a special recorded Easter Worship service. The link is available on our website whenever convenient for your worship schedule that day. No FM parking lot worship this month.
 
April 18th, the Third Sunday of Easter. We will return to our 9:30 a.m. Zoom worship to sing Easter hymns, listen to stories about hunger and nourishment. Jesus both shares the disciples’ food and shows them the meaning of his suffering, death, and resurrection through the scriptures.
 
April 25th, the Fourth Sunday of Easter. We will return to our 9:30 a.m. Zoom worship to learn about the Good Shepherd’s willingness to lay down his life for the sheep. We will consider what it means to lay down our lives for one another by the example of sharing our wealth with any sibling in need.
