Holy Week is upon us!
We have a lot going on at FBCP:
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). Thank you to Rebekah K. for helping us bring beauty to the cross this year.
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. 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! (Pro tip, if you are helping on Easter Sunday, from staff to choir to deacons, we will have some early breakfast for you from 9am-10am in the Fellowship Hall.)
Easter Egg Hunts:
Elementary-aged kids will have their Easter egg hunt at about 10:30am (~30 minutes into brunch). Pastor Andrew will make an announcement when it’s time to get started in the Chapel.
Early childhood will have their own egg hunt during church service, in the 11 o’clock hour.
