Calendar

First United Church of Arvada is open for in-person Worship in addition to offering our services over Zoom. For in-person services, masks are optional. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask or are not feeling well, we encourage you to continue to wear a mask on Sunday mornings or join us via Zoom. Request Zoom link here.

The nursery is open.  Elementary age kids will be invited to leave the worship service partway through to attend Worship & Wonder.  Kids are always welcome in the sanctuary with you or, if you prefer, you can bring your child(ren) to the foyer and still participate in the service, but with some extra wiggle room.

Today:

• Fourth Sunday of Lent
• Lenten Prayer Candle for Poverty on Communion Table
• Message from Rev. Karin Kilpatric: “Lenten Wanderer”
• Collection for OGHS (One Great Hour of Sharing) during Offertory
• Special Music from the Celebration Choir “If With All Your Heart” by Felix Mendelssohn

Adult Ed invites you to their book study at 8:30am Sunday mornings (before worship). Join us in the Fireside Room as we talk about Speak with the Earth and It Will Teach You – a Field Guide to the Bible by Daniel Cooperrider, published by the Pilgrim Press. We expect it to continue through the end of March. (And you’re welcome even if you haven’t read the book!)

Today:

• Children bring the palms forward during the first hymn
• Holy Communion
• Lenten Prayer Candle for Natural Disaster and Climate Change
• Special Music from the Celebration! Choir
• Kids decorate their bikes/scooters during the service for a bike parade after worship

On Palm Sunday (April 2), Christian Ed is planning a bike decorating time for kids in place of Worship & Wonder that day (scooters or other modes of transportation welcome, too).  Then after worship, we’ll take a short trek southward on the sidewalk along Simms.  It’s a Palm Sunday parade!  So, kids are asked to bring their bike or scooter that morning to decorate it during worship.

On Good Friday, April 7, our church sanctuary will be open for prayer, reflection and communion if you wish.  Rev. Karin Kilpatric will be on hand during this time, as well.

• Egg Hunt for kids after worship

There will be an Egg Hunt for elementary age kids and younger after the Easter Sunday worship service, on the front lawn of the church!  Please bring a bag to collect the eggs.  (And please return the eggs at the end of the collecting time, after you empty the candy into a bag to take home.)

• Greening of the Cross (decorate a cross with small branches of greenery from the outdoors to welcome the greening of springtime and acknowledge Earth Day–which is April 22)

Please join the new Adult Ed class on Sunday mornings at 8:30am in the Fireside Room (started April 19). Cathedral on Fire by Brooks Berndt forms the basis of the discussion. It’s a look at the climate crisis and what unique and vitally needed gifts churches bring to this discussion. (Read a sample here.) You are welcome to this discussion even if you aren’t able to read the book!
