This Week April 7, 2020

Dear Folks,
 
I hope you all can take some time to go outside, feel the sunshine, and breathe in the fresh air.  Just be.
 
We are in Holy Week, the oddest Holy Week we've every experienced.  But, even though we are apart in body, we are together in spirit as we walk the Passion road with Jesus to the triumph of Easter morning.
 
Wednesday. April 8:  Lenten Devotionals via Zoom at 7 P.M.  We will be taking a look at Matthew 21:12-17 and having some time for prayer and conversation.  I will send out a separate Zoom link later today.
 
Maundy Thursday, April 9:  Tenebrae Service via Zoom at 7 P.M., live streamed to Facebook (technology willing!).  I will send out a separate Zoom link tomorrow.
 
Good Friday, April 10:  Service at noon, live steamed on Facebook.
 
Easter Sunday, April 12:  Service at 9:30 A.M., live streamed on Facebook.  The scriptures are Colossians 3:1-4 and Matthew 28:1-10.  The sermon is "Celebration Delayed".
 
I will no longer post Zoom links on public forums, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, or our website, due to security concerns.
 
Streamed services will be saved to Facebook and YouTube (if able) for later viewing.
 
Thank you all for your patience as we try to figure this whole thing out.

In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
