Holy Week

I'm going to be light on the posting this week because it's so busy.  I do want to remind you that it's Holy Week and we're having three wonderful services over the next few days.

Thursday night we celebrate Maundy Thursday by eating supper together as the disciples did.  It's going to be quite an experience, a combination of socializing, hearing the story, eating, and communing together.  This is coming together quite well and I think you'll be touched by the experience.  We meet at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday at the Valley.

And speaking of touched, Good Friday service will be at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, also at the Valley.  This is the story of the central act of all history, the greatest thing God ever did for us...the moment that changed all the world and everyone in it:  past, present, and future.  It's a solemn thing, a holy night.  We hope you'll join us.

At 10:00 a.m. on Easter morning we'll hold services at St. John's.  You'll be uplifted by the music and we're having special guests as well.  It'll be an Easter to remember!

For those inclined to rise early, they're still worshiping at Cordelia at dawn.

I hope you enjoy and reverence this week.  It's the most important one of the year as far as church and faith are concerned.
