Sunday
____________________________________________________
Pastor John Jay recorded a quick sketch of a new song we will this Sunday. "New" isn't exactly correct, since this song is decades old, part of the formative canon of song for both John Jay and Chip so many years ago. The song is "Oh Lead Me" by the UK band Delirious. Here is the link to John Jay's version:

Join us as the children and youth lead worship with the FBCP Choir to welcome Holy Week with palms waving.
Maundy Thursday | April 2nd | 6pm in the Chapel
This will be an intimate service that includes a reflective time of prayer, communion and foot washing. Childcare will be provided for nursery-aged children.
Good Friday | April 3rd | 6pm in the Chapel
This special service will serve as an invitation to listen to scripture and our wonderful FBCP Choir as we remember Christ’s crucifixion and His death on the cross. The service ends with a procession out of the Sanctuary in silence. Childcare will be provided for nursery-aged children.
Flowers for the Cross
Help us decorate the cross on Easter with greenery from all over our city! Snip and bring in some flowers when you come for brunch at 10am on April 5th. This year our design will be a little different! We are inviting you to please bring flowers and greenery from your yard in pastel colors (light pink, peach, light blue, light purple, light yellow, white, green… preferably no red or dark colors)
Easter Brunch + Service | April 5th @10am
We will celebrate Easter Sunday on April 5th beginning with a potluck brunch and mariachi band at 10am in the Park on Union St! Based on your last name, if you’re able, we’re asking you to bring about 10 servings of something sweet/fruit (A-L) or savory (M-Z) to eat and share with your friends here. Food sensitivities cards are available at the Connections desk on 3/29 for use 4/5.
Worship service will be immediately afterward at 11am with the children joining us for service to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. Nursery care will be provided for ages four and under. We hope you can join us both for brunch and worship!
