Holy Week and Easter Schedule
Palm Sunday Breakfast
April 2nd
We are excited to have a breakfast once again during the Easter season. The big change is that we are having it on Palm Sunday. We hope this will allow folks who have been too busy on Easter Sunday to attend. We are blessed to have Kim and Joe Villani agree to lead this wonderful event. Please watch for details in upcoming Messengers and emails. See the signup form in the Sunday Bulletin.
Foot washing
April 6th 7:30pm
In John 13, Jesus washes his disciples feet as part of the Last Supper. In many places, the ritual act of foot washing is part of the Maundy Thursday worship. This is in following Jesus’ command in John 13:14-15 that his disciples should wash one another’s feet. An opportunity for foot washing will be included in our Maundy Thursday worship. You are not required to participate in the ritual, but you are invited to have your feet washed if you wish.
