Adult walkers/bikers encouraged to join! Helmets strongly encouraged. Our children will also participate in bringing the palms into worship during the beginning of the service that Sunday. Contact the Church Office for any questions.

On Maundy Thursday, April 17, we will gather for a simple meal of foods Jesus and his disciples may have eaten (pita bread, olives, nuts, hummus, water, a simple salad…). We’ll be together in fellowship, singing, candlelight and Holy Communion as we remember the night Jesus broke bread with his friends before his journey to the cross. We do need RSVPs to prepare enough food. You can sign-up on the Welcome Table or contact the office.
