“Hosanna!” to “Crucify Him!” to “Alleluia! Christ is Risen!”
We have been praying our way through Lent – many of us adding a new prayer posture to our lives. Now we invite everyone to join us to journey through Holy Week to Easter, April 13 – 20.
We begin on Palm/Passion Sunday, April 13 as we process with palms shouting “Hosanna” which means “save us, now” and we hear the story of the Passion and by the end “Crucify Him” becomes the loudest words from the crowd.
On Maundy (to command) Thursday, April 17, our senses are awakened as the order of worship is different – as we begin with the confession and forgiveness of sins and we end with the stripping of the altar and silence.
On Good Friday, April 18, we are using a different service this year which will invite us into the sights, sounds and smells of that day long ago when Jesus was crucified and the world waited.
Do you like to rise early on Easter Morning? Then join us outside for our Sunrise Worship at 6:45am! Proclaim Alleluia! And then come inside for our Easter breakfast served from 7:15am – 10:30am. Or if a chilly early morning isn’t your way to worship on Easter join us with our choirs and special music at 8:45am and 11:00am (No Sunday School and no 10am worship that day). (10:30am Easter Egg Hung for children 5th grade and under)
Join us for this journey into the amazing and extravagant love and grace God has for all of God’s people.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Kristin Hoyer
