Hey, Friends!
We were sad to cancel our liturgy in the park last Sunday, but we are so grateful for rain and for the fun we had seeing our families at our drive-by pick up! We hope your seeds are starting to take root and grow—and that your plants remind you of the goodness God is growing in you, too. We are so glad that God wants to plant His word in us, and spring is a great time to keep growing in our faith. If your children are on spring break already, then you might want to check out this list of 30 DIY STEAM activities to do at home (that don't involve screens!).
It's hard to believe that we are celebrating Palm Sunday already, but I'm so excited for the ways we can observe Holy Week and Easter as a connected church family. Easter Sunday in particular has a few options for families with kids, so make sure you check out the details below and let us know if you have any questions.
Easter Liturgy for Families with Kids
This Easter we are so excited that we have ways to gather in person after staying home last year. We have two services happening Easter Sunday, and our families with kids are invited to attend both if they want. First, we will have our all-church worship service in the garage at 10:30AM with all the beautiful elements that go in an Easter service. Following garage worship, families with kids are invited to head to the park area where they can hang out in a circle and bring a picnic lunch to eat. You could also get some food in Old Town and bring it back to the park. Then at 1:30pm we will have a Liturgy for Families with Kids, complete with songs, a Bible lesson, and lots of fun Easter activities! So, you can join us for both events or come to the one that works for your family, but you are invited to both. Please note that we will also have some car-friendly activities and snacks for kids who come to the garage service in the morning. We hope to see you on Easter for this special day when we celebrate new life and all the hope that comes with the resurrection! You can let us know your plans for Easter with this RSVP link.
Youth this Sunday
This week the Youth will be gathering over Zoom at 2PM for an important time of connection and conversation as we make space for learning and lament. Here is the meeting link that you can use to hop on the hangout.
Easter for Youth
The Youth are invited to attend our all-church service in the garage on Easter morning. We'll have some special goodies for them and hope they will join our church family as we remember the resurrection of Jesus and celebrate together.
Sending you so much love and virtual hugs!
With gratitude for you,
Pastor Lindsay & Pastor Mary
