JESUS PREDICTS HIS DEATH
As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside privately and told them what was going to happen to him. “Listen,” he said, “we’re going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die. Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, flogged with a whip, and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead.” (Matthew 20: 17-19)

EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE
We will have an in-person/outdoor worship service on Easter Sunday, April 4, at 11 am. The outdoor Easter service will be held on the lower parking lot adjacent to the portico and basement entrance. This will be a hybrid service, with seating available close to the portico and room at the back of the parking lot for vehicles, if you prefer to listen to the service from the comfort of your vehicle. Everyone is expected to be masked and social distancing guidelines are to be followed. Seating will be marked so a family may sit together and maintain a minimum of 6 feet from a different family. With masks, congregational singing is permitted at outdoor services.
Prepackaged communion elements will be available, so we can share together in Easter communion. We will have Children’s Time and please do not forget to bring flowers to decorate the cross! Christ is risen indeed! The worship service will be recorded and made available via Facebook for those wishing to worship with us virtually.
IN-PERSON WORSHIP IN THE SANCTUARY
We will return to in-person worship in the Sanctuary on Sunday, April 11. For indoor worship, we are expected to mask and follow social distancing guidelines. For now, there will not be congregational singing inside the sanctuary; instrumental music and recorded or broadcast vocal music is permitted. We will continue to record the worship service and make it available via Facebook.
We will continue online worship via Google Meet and with the sermon posted to Facebook until Easter. At that point we will no longer use Google Meet but will continue to livestream via Facebook.
"My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus - the work of telling others the Good News about God's wonderful kindness and love." (Acts 20: 24)
