A Message from Our Pastor about Good Friday & Easter

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Just a reminder that GOOD FRIDAY worship is tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. At the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday service last evening, the altar and chancel area were stripped in the ancient practice of the Church in preparation for tonight. Worship tonight will include a reading of the "passion narrative" as recorded by St. John (which offers a different perspective from St. Luke, read last Sunday), the ancient "Bidding Prayer," a procession of the cross, and lighting of votive candles at the conclusion of worship. We will be using the traditional liturgy appearing in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

EASTER WORSHIP – 10:30 A.M. SUNDAY (it is the only service of the weekend – there is NO Saturday or 8:15 a.m. Sunday worship) More details about this service appear in the posting below this one.

Easter Sunday begins in the fellowship hall at 9:15 a.m. with an intergenerational Sunday School event featuring creative studies of the origin of Scripture. A continental breakfast will be available (bagels, fruit, pastries, juice, coffee). Join us!

May God bless you with New Life this day!

In Christ,
Gary
