SUMMARY:Palm Sunday & "Goodbye Pastor Wicks"
DESCRIPTION:Palm Sunday begins Holy Week. During this week\, we remember how\, out of his great love for us\, Christ gave his life to redeem us. Palm Sunday begins with the crowds greeting Jesus as he entered Jerusalem with waving palm branches and shouts of joy\, “Hosanna… Hosanna in the highest.” Paradoxically\, we all know how this story ends.  There is no joy of Easter without Good Friday. \nWe invite you to worship with us on Palm Sunday (& every Sunday!).  Our “One Great Hour of Sharing” offering will be dedicated at this service. \nPlease note:  On this day\, we will be saying goodbye to Pastor Mike Wicks\, our transition pastor for the past twenty-eight months. We will host a farewell reception following the service. (There will be a spot for cards if you wish to bring one.)

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday Service
DESCRIPTION:On Maundy Thursday\, we pause and remember the events of the last night Christ spent with his disciples:  the Last Supper. Retreating to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray\, where he was eventually betrayed by one of his own and abandoned by others. Through it all\, Jesus continues to teach us his way of love and communion. This service will include the Lord’s Supper.
