This experiential remembrance of Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples will conclude with his betrayal and arrest, leaving us with the uncertainty Jesus’ followers felt as they faced the unknowable events of the days ahead. Holy Communion will be served at this service.

The drama continues as we recall,with traditional tenebrae service, Jesus’ painful march to Golgotha, his suffering and death on the cross, and the darkness that hung over the earth.
 

Easter Vigil –
Following the Good Friday Service, April 2,  the vigil begins, and ends on Saturday, with a closing service at 11:30 AM. This is a time of solitude and meditation. It is suggested that at least two people be present for one hour all through the night. Materials will be provided on which to meditate, or you may bring your own personal meditation to read. It is a time of quiet reflection. Anyone is welcome to attend the closing service at 11:30 AM on Saturday, April 3.
For two weeks prior to Easter, there will be a sign up chart in the Narthex for people wishing to participate in the Vigil. If you would like more information, contact Ann Baccari, Joan Palubinsky or the Church Office

Come sing "Alleluia!" as we celebrate Christ’s victory over the grave, and are assured, once more, that NOTHING can separate us from God’s love.

Our 8:30 AM  and 10:45 AM services of worship will include joyful, inspiring music, a celebratory message, and Holy Communion. Refreshments will be served in Fellowship Hall between services; no Sunday School will be held that morning
