This Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week as we recall Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.  We will have our traditional palm parade with folks young and old waving their palm branches.  If you have children and youth, please have them meet Mrs. Randi in the foyer at 9:45am to get their palms and receive instructions for the processional.

We have a lot of bulbs left over from our Garden Renovation last fall, and we want church family and friends to enjoy them.  They’ll be available this Sunday morning before and after worship for pick-up.  Suggested donation is $10 per pot.

Hop on back to church after worship for some free family fun!  There will be lots of activities for people of all ages … pictures with the Easter bunny, Easter eggs hunts scheduled by age groups, crafts, Easter treats, and more.  Invite your friends and neighbors to come, too!

On Maundy Thursday (April 14) and Good Friday (April 15), we will have a Prayer Labyrinth and Stations of the Cross set up in the ASP Gym from 11:00am-1:00pm & 4:00pm-6:00pm.  There will be printed materials available to assist you in your journey.  Come spend time in prayer and meditation.

The mood will be set with a ballet choreographed by our own Therese Laager titled “The Table.” This will be followed with the reading of scripture and the extinguishing of candles as we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us all.

Join us as we pack 10,000 meals that will go to feed hungry people in other countries with Rise Against Hunger. Our event is Thursday, April 21 from 5:00-7:00pm.  It kicks off a weekend across Birmingham during which time the goal is to pack 1-million meals. There are jobs for people of all ages and abilities … from elementary-aged children to folks who are their grandparents’ age. Grab your family and/or some friends, and come enjoy this worthwhile and fun mission event.  If you can’t make it on Thursday, Risa Against Hunger will also be packing meals on Saturday, April 23 at ASP.  To register for Thursday or Saturday, click here.
