OTHER ITEMS OF NOTE

Thursday to Friday: Overnight Prayer Vigil

April 14 @ 8 PM to April 15 @ 8 AM

Following the Maundy Thursday evening service, we will hold a Prayer Vigil, our response to Jesus asking his disciples to watch and pray with him in the garden. There are 12 hour-long slots through the night. You may sign up for one or more times. Typically, our pray-ers pray from home, but if you would prefer to pray in our Sanctuary during your time slot, let us know, and we'll assist you with the arrangements. The goal is to have continual prayer from the end of the Maundy Thursday service to the morning of Good Friday.

If you plan to pray as part of the vigil, please email Deacon Mark in the Church Office and let him know what hour slot you wish to take and whether you'll be praying at home or at the Church. We will be building a prayer vigil schedule, based on your

No Friday Morning Men's Group

The Friday Morning Men's Group will not meet this week. We will resume our weekly meetings next Friday, April 22 at 7 AM in the Church Fellowship Hall.

Easter Feast - Sunday, April 25 at 11 AM

Next Sunday, April 25, we will have our traditional Easter Feast potluck brunch after the single service. Our Communion Service will begin at 9:30 AM and will be followed by the Potluck Brunch to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and the Easter season.

This is a congregation-wide event that always includes lots of wonderful food, great fellowship and the boundless joy of God's redeemed people.

Please, please, please! We need help with the planning, setup, hosting and cleanup of this major event. There are many elements that need to be coordinated, and it cannot be done by just one person. Please reach out to Deacon Mark in the Church Office and volunteer to take a role in making this wonderful event a success.
