WATCH AT THE CROSS PRAYER VIGIL Thursday, April 1 to Easter Sunday, April 4
If you would like to spend some quality time preparing yourself for Easter morning, then please sign up for the Watch at the Cross Prayer Vigil. You can spend time praying, meditating, listening to music, singing, reading, or whatever the Spirit leads you to do to focus on the death and resurrection of our Lord. This continuous vigil starts immediately following the Maundy Thursday service in our sanctuary and concludes Easter morning. A sign up sheet is located in the fellowship hall. Sign up as an individual, family, with a friend, or as a study group. The blocks of time are in one hour increments, but you are welcome to sign up for several if you wish.
What a great way to experience the risen Lord in humility!
EASTER FLOWERS If you would like to purchase a tulip plant to decorate the church for Easter, please complete an order form that can be found in your Sunday order of worship. Plants are $7.00 each and can be taken home following Easter services.
