Calendar

Various leaders come to the topic of “prophets” in a variety of ways for this study. On Palm Sunday, Karen Howe takes a look at prophets of today. (No class on Easter Sunday.)

Join us for Palm Sunday Worship at 10am! Palms for all. Then join us for fellowship, coffee, tea and treats after worship. More details coming….

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.

Easter Sunday is April 21! Join us for a Cantata of choral pieces and small ensembles of vocal and instrumental music tied together with a message by Pastor Karin interspersed between the music pieces. More on Easter activities coming soon!

The youth (middle & high school) will be hiding the filled eggs on Easter Sunday shortly before the Egg Hunt begins! Children about age 11 & younger are invited to participate in the egg hunt. Please bring a bag or basket for your children/grandchildren to collect the eggs.

With various leaders coming to the topic from their own strengths, each week is a different kind of look at the prophets, including…
-who today’s prophets are (April 14, 28)
-No class on Easter Sunday (April 21)
-spiritual psychology as a view on prophecy (March 31 & April 7)
-a look at poets and artists as prophets (March 17 & 24)
-Isaiah from the Bible (March 3, 10)
All are welcome.
