A great time of fellowship is planned for Easter Sunday 4/20 starting at 9:00 AM. All are invited to bring a potluck dish or two of breakfast foods to share and celebrate Easter with a potluck brunch before service begins. The fellowship hall at Brookmeade will be adorned with spring flowers and green, lilac, pink, and yellow tablecloths. Easter Sunday worship service begins at 10:30 AM, followed by more celebration at Coffee Fellowship at 11:30 AM and an Easter Egg Hunt for all children present! All are welcome!
All are welcome to join us for Maundy Thursday at 6:30 pm on Thursday, April 17 in the sanctuary. This service will take us on the journey in between the celebrations of Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. This will be a service of community and shadows, and I will remind us of the depths of humanity before we can celebrate the victory of God’s power over anything. Let us come together to worship and to remember who we are, and who we are becoming.
