The Pastor’s thoughts…
~ Holy Week/Passover ~
I write this on Palm Sunday, which is the beginning of Holy Week. It’s interesting to note that this is one of those years that Holy Week and Passover coincide! So, as we celebrate the events leading up to Easter, our Jewish friends are celebrating their most sacred time of year!
Scripture tells us that the Last Supper of our Lord was a Passover Meal. So that makes this coinciding of weeks even more special. This Thursday, April 17th, is Maundy Thursday. That night we will celebrate the Last Supper and the last meeting of Jesus and his disciples in the Upper Room. We will have our Agape celebration in our Fellowship Hall, together with the other churches from our Lenten Services. We hope to see you there. The event begins art 7:00.
Have a blessed Holy Week, and a wonderful Easter!

And now for some previous thoughts…
~ Lent ~
We are now almost through the season of Lent, which is the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter – Not counting the Sundays. (That’s why we call them the “Sundays IN Lent,” not “OF Lent!”
We enjoyed our Lenten Services, which we brought back since before Covid! This week there will not be a service on Wednesday. But the following week we will have our mAgape celebration, which is the commemoration of Jesus and his disciples in the Upper Room, and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. All the Lenten Churches are invited, and we hope to see you there.
Blessings!

~ Winter’s Wonders ~
Yes, this weekend we were reminded that it is indeed winter. And our old pal Punxatawny Phil told us there will be six more weeks of winter! We had to decide about worship – in person, or streaming. As you know we made the hard decision to cancel the in person worship. We trust we made the right call.
We may have more of these in the time the groundhog told us we will have before Spring comes. So I would remind you to keep in touch with your church, as we try to keep in touch with you! Watch your email and this website, and we’ll keep you informed as much as possible.
Take care and be safe!
