St. John's Epistle for March 29, 2012

Dear beloved disciples of Jesus,

Members of the Property Committee invite you to come help them clean up the church grounds this Saturday, March 31, from 9 am until noon, at the church. Wear gloves if you have them. Tools will be provided.

This Sunday is Palm Sunday! After worship we have a brunch then an Easter Egg Hunt.  Invite your family and friends. The sermon is from Mark 11:1-11 and is called An April Fools Day Dilemma: Two Kings, Two Kingdoms, One Choice. Speaking of sermons, here is a video of last week's sermon.    

Next Thursday, April 5, at 7:00 pm you are invited to a Maundy Thursday Service featuring communion, tenebrae (dimming of the lights) and stripping of the church (removing the paraments). Come remember the last supper of Jesus with his disciples and renew your commitment to the Christ within you.

Next Friday, April 6, you may join our neighbors at Salem Lutheran Church in a Tre-Ore Service from Noon until 3 pm on Good Friday.

On Easter Sunday you may worship at a youth led sunrise service with a skit at 7 am in Fellowship Hall and a 10:30 am service with the adult choir and a sermon as we worship our risen Lord. I welcome the opportunity to walk through Holy Week with you starting this Sunday. 

Remember Holy Week is much more than attending an extra worship service or two. Holy Week is an opportunity to renew our commitment to Christ and the Body of Christ which is the church. May the Holy Spirit rekindle God's fire within our hearts during the Holy Week that lays ahead. May the Christ within us arise and shine like the noon day sun.

Your anxiously anticipating Holy Week pastor,
Jon B.
