This is to remind everyone that Palm Sunday is next Sunday, the first Sunday in April, April 2, 2023. Easter will follow on Sunday, April 9, 2023. For those who have been away from the congregation, this is the opportunity to return to the active life and worship of the church. It is highly appropriate as we remember Jesus’ death and resurrection that has given us the gift of salvation. We worship each Sunday morning at 10am and livestream our service on our Facebook page and at “Considering the Faith”, our YouTube channel.
Looking toward Holy Week next week, we are making a couple of changes to our schedule. The first is on Good Friday, April 7, 2023. We are going to have services at 10am, as many of our folks are not comfortable driving in the evening. You are invited to join us for services on Good Friday. At the present time, our 7:30 service will remain on the schedule if there is interest expressed via email, Facebook, or other contact. Will be there be participation?
We are not having services on Maundy Thursday this year.
On Wednesday, April 5, 2023 we are continuing our time of prayer at 10am. For this Wednesday, we are going to include a special liturgy of healing. It will include the opportunity to offer our concerns, whatever weighs especially on our hearts, to the Lord. As part of our time together, we shall take the time to write these concerns down on paper. Then, outside the sanctuary, we will have a brazier with a fire burning. This is for people to place those written concerns into, to offer them up to God in an echo of the ‘wave’ offering set in the Law of Moses.
May the Lord bless us as we remember the greatest gift we have received from our God on High.
And a reminder. For people who cannot join us in our daytime adjustments to our schedule, please let us know and we will seek to make accommodation.
Peace,
Pastor Peter
