Good Friday: Messy Church 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Maundy Thursday is the day we recall Jesus institution of the Lord’s Supper, we commemorate Jesus washing his disciples feet, and we are reminded of the desertion of the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane as Jesus is falsely arrested by the religious leaders.
This is an important service where we silently watch as the altar is stripped of all its adornments and left bare during Good Friday and Saturday. The service is celebrated with a potluck supper as we remember Jesus admonition to gather together in fellowship.
A sign up sheet for the potluck is in the Front Hall. Please plan to join us!
Please join us for our Alongside Hope Lenten lunch (PWRDF) on Sunday, March 22 after the 10:30 service. A sign up sheet is in the Narthex. We are looking for soup, chilli and buns. If you have any questions, please see Kari V.
