Come to the Cross

In the 6:30pm Good Friday service on April 7, worshippers will have the opportunity during the first part of the service to write down any sins they'd like to confess or prayers they'd like to offer to the Lord and place them on a cross at the front of the sanctuary. The notes will not be read and will be burned following the service. On Easter Sunday, the same cross will be transformed with color and life. Please bring cut flowers from your yard or garden (or storebought flowers, if you'd like) to decorate our Easter flower cross this year! Additional flowers will be on hand for those who do not bring them. This will take place at the beginning of the 10am Easter service.
