Hi Friends,
A huge thanks to our kids for doing such a beautiful job leading worship on Palm Sunday! Their presence was such a blessing, and it was a lovely picture of God's kingdom to see them and the adult choir singing and praising God together. An extra thanks to our parents who came a little early to help the morning go smoothly. We are so grateful for our families with kids!
As we wait on this Holy Saturday for the resurrection of our Lord, I pray that you are able to pause and be still for a moment. Tomorrow will surely be a day for great rejoicing, but God is with us in the waiting. I have thought many times today about how quiet the world must have seemed to the disciples as they grieved this day. If you are in a season of waiting in your own life, know that God is present with you in that sacred in-between space, and we are here to hold you in hope.
Easter for Kids and Youth
We have a special morning for our church family tomorrow, and we hope you can join us! Come at 10:00 AM for an all-church potluck brunch in our courtyard by the sanctuary. There will also be a live mariachi band, and you're invited to bring flowers to place on the cross before worship begins. Pastor Mary and I will have an egg hunt and a craft table for our kids, and they are invited to bring their Easter baskets if they have a special one they use each year (if not, we'll have some extra!).
We'll begin worship at 11:00 AM in the sanctuary. Our youth and all kids five years old and up will join us in the sanctuary for Easter service, and we are excited that one of our kids will be baptized in worship, too! We'll have nursery childcare as usual for our littlest ones during worship starting at 10:50 AM. We hope to see you there for this most special morning as we celebrate the reality of the resurrection!
Waiting in great hope with you,
Pastor Lindsay
