Holy WEEK & EASTER

It is with real sadness we let you know that we will not worship together in the Nave of our Church this Easter. As with so many things we have all experienced this past month, none of us could have expected this. To say that we are sad about this is an understatement, but we know that this is best for our all our well-being. We are fortunate to be able to worship via livestream. We invite you to join us for Easter worship at 11:00 am on Easter Sunday morning April 12. Too, you can join us for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday worship via livestream at 7:00 pm on April 9 and 10. Although we are experiencing worship together at a bit of a distance, we know that Our Lord is present with us and joins us together as his people, even at a distance and across an internet connection.

We have not been able to join together to celebrate the Lord’s Supper over these weeks. Thinking deeply about this, we will not celebrate until we are again physically joined together as a worshipping community. This has been an extremely hard choice but we know that something as intimate as the Sacraments does not translate well online. Too, something such as “drive-by” communion does not express the community, fellowship and interconnection with Jesus and one another that Holy Communion is meant to express. Too, the pastors do not commune during our livestream worship because you are not able to join us at this time. We all anticipate that day when we will all be together to share in our common fellowship and the holy Sacraments that come to us as a gift from God.

God’s richest blessings to you and all you love in this holy season. May the mystery and joy of Easter be with you in these very different days, giving you all hope for the days yet to come.

​Peace,
Pastor Gary Erdos
Pastor Kathleen Haller
Pastor Terry Anderson
