 | Pipe Down: A State of the Organ AddressMarch 30 | 9:45 am | Fellowship Hall Join us for a fifth Sunday joint Sunday School opportunity. Our music director, AV, and organist, EunJoo, with Bill Bingham, will tell us about the status of our pipe organ, the repair options, and the process. For all of us who love and enjoy organ music in our worship services, this will be a good time to have an open conversation about how we can better care for and appreciate our beloved instrument. |

 | Church WorkdayPlease Note: Corrected DateApril 6 | 12 pm Wear your work clothes to church, because right after we’ll meet in the Fellowship Hall following worship for a light lunch and to hear more about the various work areas. We’re still finalizing the full list of tasks, but we know we’ll be working on some landscaping on Guadalupe and straightening up the sanctuary. There will be indoor and outdoor projects for persons of all ages and capabilities to participate. Our last workday was a great success and we appreciate all who are able to join us. |

 | Holy Week ServicesPalm SundayApril 13 | 11 am | SanctuaryJoin us for worship as we observe Palm/Passion Sunday. Our service will begin with the traditional waving of palm branches as we recall the Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and we will hear special music from our children's choir. The service will then move to a time of recalling the passion of Christ with scripture lessons and special music.
Maundy ThursdayApril 17 | 7 pm | SanctuaryOn Maundy Thursday we remember that Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and instituted The Last Supper (Communion) before his crucifixion. Maundy means "command" and in response to Jesus' example, this service will include communion and optional foot washing as well as hymns and a brief homily.
Good FridayApril 18 | 7 pm | SanctuaryWe’ll have a reflective service featuring congregational singing, special music, scripture readings, and other selected readings centered on our ongoing work of justice and commitment to anti-racism. |

Service of Worship Sunday @ 11 amScripture: Luke 15:1-7This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday in Lent and the scripture passage is the Parable of the Lost Sheep from Luke 15:1-7. With joy we will celebrate the baptism of Sophie Mira Bugge, daughter of Leanna Lam and Travis Bugge and the Sanctuary Choir will sing “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need” by Isaac Watts arr. Virgil Thomson. At the beginning of worship we will light a candle in celebration of International Transgender Day of Visibility which is March 31. This is also the weekend for our church’s family camping trip! We pray for youth coordinator Natasha and children’s director Jillian as they lead this event and for all the youth and families who are attending. We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful time! |
