The world feels heavy—divided and uncertain. Hearts ache, minds seek peace, and souls hunger for hope. In these moments, many search for a way forward. Amid injustice and tragedies, we remember we must first gather around the table for strength so we can respond with love and grace.
Our Lenten theme, Bread of Life, highlights how Jesus fed people—not just their bodies but also their souls—with good news, stories of redemption, and parables that showed the way of God’s kin(g)dom. From wedding feasts to eating with tax collectors to feeding thousands, people left Jesus’ presence with full hearts and bellies. A gift Jesus gives freely so we may give to others.
The table is open. Come, be renewed, and take this bread.
This Lent, let us gather together to break bread, savor the divine generosity of God, and rise to share with the world out of the abundance we have received from the bread of life.
Holy Week Schedule
ON PALM SUNDAY, APRIL 13, AT 10:30 AM, we worship simultaneously in the sanctuary and online. Worship on Palm Sunday includes the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Virtual worshippers will want to set aside elements of bread and cup to bring to the table. You will also want to have a branch or leaf to wave in our celebration of Palm Sunday.
MAUNDY THURSDAY, APRIL 17, we remember the Institution of the Lord’s Supper, our Baptism, and the New Commandment. Gather for a simple meal of soup and bread, at 6:15 PM, shared around tables in the sanctuary. Bring soup and/or bread if you are able. Come and eat, even if you are not. At 7 PM, we move into the liturgy of worship.
Those worshipping virtually, will want to have a dish of water and a towel, and bread and cup to bring to the table of Jesus.
GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 18, we remember the passion of Christ in a service of worship at 7 PM. The Sanctuary Choir presents “It Is Finished,” a powerful and compelling Tenebrae meditation, and we behold the cross, on which the Light of the World was hung.
EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 10:30 AM, we celebrate the Resurrection, with joyous songs, special music, the Easter story, and dedication of the One Great Hour of Sharing offering. We help transform the cross into a thing of beauty, surrounding it with fresh flowers. Worshippers are encouraged to bring a flower they have grown or purchased to worship.
If you are worshipping virtually, you may want to bring a fresh flower into your worship space.
