This week is the narrative at the heart of our faith, the climatic drama of the life of Jesus and implications of living a life based on his teachings.  There are many ways for your to join in our retelling and reappropriation of the story from online readings to active participation in services and rituals.  You'll find information and links about all of that in this week's e-news.

A big thank you to all those who helped make our intearctive servince on Sunday not just possible but also so rich in meaning: Albert Hussian, Bob Bryalwski, David Kittams, Jeff Trowbridge, Pete Feltman, Sharon Nelson, and the choir! 

Hoping to see you Easter Sunday, if not before.

- Monte

Can you Help with Holy Week and next week's Friday Night Meal?
Serving the Friday
Night Dinner 4/14


Interested in helping to make the Friday Night Meal happen on Good Friday, Friday April 14th?  Each week our church serves the meal from 6-7 downstairs to roughly 50 people (but we cook for 80 as there are many extra servings), but there's work in the days ahead, the day of, and just after too.

I'm looking for help from you, however you'd like to help, in terms of:
  • planning
  • shopping,
  • cooking & preparing food
  • set-up
  • serving
  • clean-up

I created this online sign-up sheet using Doodle to organize us...you don't have to join it, you simply enter your name and click on the boxes for the things you'd like to help do (same as that listed above)

Simply click on this LINK HERE and fill out the sheet.  If you can please do it by this Thursday night then we can get the ball rolling!!!
