Palm/Passion Sunday – March 28, 2021 @11am

Our service will begin with Palms and a great children’s message, and continue into a dramatic telling of the whole story of Christ’s journey to the cross. It is a big picture view of Holy Week, and a moving story. Join us on  Zoom or Facebook live Sunday morning.

Maundy Thursday – April 1, 2021 @6pm

Celebrate Jesus’ last supper with his friends and his washing of their feet. We encourage you to have:

  • A washbasin and a towel,
  • A simple meal of soup and bread prepared for your household,
  • Communion elements of bread and wine

The service will include a “Circles of Connection” time where we discuss the scriptures and pray together during our meal, and we will conclude with Holy Communion and chanting Psalm 22. 

24 Hour Prayer Vigil – Friday April 2 @noon to Saturday April 3 @noon

We honor the cross and Christ’s love for us, even unto death, as we hold vigil, praying for an hour in solitude. Prayer prompts and prayers requested by the congregation will be available. We pray for the world, for the church, for God’s people, and for healing, mercy, and justice.
