Do you have an interest in First United’s Mission/Service Trip? Want to find out more? There will be a brief meeting after worship on Sunday March 31. We need to know if we have enough people to go on this trip to Alamosa, Colorado July 14-18. This is for individuals, couples, families, and youth (rising 9th graders and older). We work with La Puente there. The video at their website http://www.lapuente.net/ gives an overview of what the organization does there.

Saturday April 6-Spaghetti Supper
The Spaghetti Supper, where the youth serve and the proceeds go toward the summer mission/service trip to Alamosa, is coming up on Saturday April 6. Serving begins at 5:30pm. (Youth will arrive at 4 for setup & prep.) More information coming soon!

Steve Bennett leads another week based in spiritual psychology looking at a writing by Robert Sardello. (No need to have attended the previous week to be part of the discussion!) Then on Palm Sunday, Karen Howe takes a look at prophets of today. (No class on Easter Sunday.)

Children (elementary age) are dismissed about 20 minutes into the service for Worship & Wonder. Youth (middle & high school age) stay in worship this Sunday. Nursery is provided for preschool age and younger children. Worship concludes about 11:00AM, with coffee and fellowship afterward.

Today:

The Congregational Care Board meets to plan for the upcoming Easter Sunday, etc.

We will have an indoor clean-up day to get our indoor space ready for Easter and spring!  If you are able, please join us on Saturday, April 13 from 9am to noon.  Tasks include dusting, cleaning the chairs in the Sanctuary, polishing wood and cleaning in the kitchen, Fireside & Fellowship rooms.

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!
