Church School this Sunday: Children meet upstairs with Sabina and learn about Palm Sunday. Adults Faithful Citizen series continues, John Armentrout will discuss Global Ecology, and how faith connects to the work to be done concerning our planet and its ecosystems.  

Youth & Parents Meeting, Sunday @ noon. Youth and their Parents will meet to discuss mission opportunities for this summer, camping opportunities, and other spring time events, as well as the forms you will need to fill out to attend the summer mission trips.

Palm (Fern) Sunday is April 9! Last year, 21 children and adults helped lead worship on Palm Sunday. Would you or someone in your family like to participate this year? Contact Katie Pate at pastor@milwaukiepres.org or 503.654.7782 to sign up. Why Fern Sunday? Palm frond collection can damage fragile rainforest ecosystems. In ancient Jerusalem palms were on hand, here we have an abundance of ferns. Members of our congregation bring fern fronds from their gardens to help celebrate Palm Sunday.

April 15: Outdoor Cleanup @ 9 a.m. & Flowering of the Cross @ 10 a.m. Bring flowers and greens to help flower the cross for Easter. Bring gloves and tools to help tend the grounds.

Easter is Sunday, April 16 Worship at 10 a.m., followed by a hot cross buns potluck and an egg hunt for the children. Bring hot cross buns or a brunch dish to share.
