April 2025 Message

As we enter Holy Week, we will end Lent's preparation and fasting this April. Holy

week is an opportunity for us to reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of

Jesus. It's a chance to renew and deepen our faith and relationship with God.

Here is a little preview of what to expect.

Beginning with Palm Sunday, we will commemorate the triumphal entry into Jeru-

salem with Jesus. This Sunday, sometimes called Passion Sunday, starts us on the

story of Jesus' passionate journey to the cross and Easter. As a part of our Palm/

Passion Sunday celebration this year, we will also have our cantata, which will mu-

sically reflect many of the events of Jesus' passion. Afterward, we look forward to

refreshments and the children's Easter egg hunt.

During the week, we have two special services: Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

Maundy or Holy Thursday is when we remember Jesus' last supper and arrest. And

Good Friday is when we remember his trial and death on the cross. This year, we

will use the Stations of the Cross to guide us through the Good Friday narrative.

Good Friday may seem like a misnomer as it preserves the darkest moments of

Jesus' passion, but it is in Christ's death that we pass through into his resurrection

and salvation joy.

Easter once again arrives with a Sunrise Service on the church lawn for all you

early risers and a regular timed service celebrating the resurrection of Christ and

the rebirth of joy in God's saving life. Join us as we give voice to the joy of Jesus

when we say the Easter proclamation Christ is risen!

I hope you can join us for all or some of these service opportunities as we discover the grace revealed in Jesus' passion-a passion that demonstrates his commitment to God's will and the gift of salvation in Jesus' name. 'Christ is Risen Indeed!'

1 Peter 1:3 NIV

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us

new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
