April 11, 2022 by Ed Vinson in Note From Pastor

It’s Holy Week! There is so much to ponder this week: Jesus’ last supper with His disciples, His arrest & trial. His crucifixion, and of course His resurrection! I trust you will make time to read those texts and meditate on their realities.

Come worship together for the Maundy Thursday service at 6:30. We will take communion. Nursery care is available.

The sanctuary will be open from 9-2 on Good Friday if you want to pray there.

Easter Sunday worship begins at 6:30 a.m. with a sunrise service, hopefully outside, weather permitting. Join us for a continental breakfast at 7:15. Please let us know if you are coming to that. The rest of the morning is our regular schedule: Prayer group at 8:30, Sunday School at 9:15 and worship at 10:30. I am looking forward to these worship times with you. I also encourage you to invite a neighbor or friend.

“The angel said to the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” Matthew 28:5-6
