Gather Us Again to Hear

Holy God, lover of our souls, we come before you as people created by and for love: Gather us in this time to hear again your word of love, to renew our trust in its breadth and depth. In the sacrifice of your love for us, may we find renewal and be your love in the world. Amen.

~ Daily Prayer for All Seasons, p. 92

Painting and Potluck

Calling all kids and families, and any members of our church family who want to join in the fun! On Sunday, March 22, in the Banquet Room after the 10:30 service, we will paint our brand-new Little Free Pantry, which will join our Little Free Library and Little Free Seed Library outside near the courtyard once the roof construction is done.

Please bring:

·    A potluck dish or snack to share so we can break bread together before we paint

·    Paint clothes for all aspiring artists

·    A non-perishable food item to put inside the pantry

We hope you can join us in bringing together art, service, and community as we learn to follow Jesus. Contact Rev. Clara with any questions.

Palm Sunday

Procession with Children

March 29 is Palm Sunday. During the 10:30 worship, children (and parents) are invited to join in the procession, waving palms and participating in the celebration as Jesus was proclaimed King of kings. Please meet in the Art Gallery hallway prior to worship. The palms will be blessed in the nave then children/families will follow the choir in procession. Towards the end of the procession, children may continue to Children's Worship with their leaders or return to pews with family.

Information to share

Prepare and remember Palm Sunday as a family, sharing the readings and prayer in this link: Palm Sunday

And, in case you need a refresher - here is how to create a palm cross.

Acolytes Always Welcome

We would welcome acolytes for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Easter Vigil, and Easter morning!  There will be many ways to participate at each of these services.

Please let Jeanne Hinks know ahead of time if possible, but the Verger/Acolyte team can go with the flow if the spirit moves your acolyte to join us at any time. Contact: Jeanne Hinks

Easter Worship with Families

On Easter morning, Nursery and Children's Worship will not be available so that all families may celebrate the resurrection together. There is a carpeted space on the floor in the front of the nave, on the right side, which allows for an up-close view of the worship. A variety of toys and books are also available in that area. Wherever you choose to sit, know that we love the joyful noise of all people in worship!
