Dear Church Family,
It’s finally here! No, I’m not talking about a week of spring break although I know it’s a very welcome week of rest for all our teachers and school families. I’m talking about a week that’s even more important…Holy Week, which begins this weekend with Palm Sunday. Because on the one hand, a week of spring break rest is good for refreshing our bodies. It’s much needed. But on the other hand, only what Jesus accomplished during holy week can refresh our souls and give our consciences rest now and forevermore.
To join me in person whether on Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 9:30 am please register with this form ahead of time. Holy Communion will be offered at each of our services this weekend.
To worship online with others simply click here to visit our livestreaming platform either on Saturday at 5:00 pm or Sunday at 9:30 am. You can also find it now conveniently in the church app.
