Welcome to Holy Week,

In years past we have seen snow storms during Holy Week that may have slowed us down, but nothing in my memory compares to what is happening in our world.  These are such unusual times.  Do know you are in my thoughts and prayers as we come to Holy Week.

We will not be gathered together for worship or celebrations of any kind, except by online opportunities.   Still, I encourage you to observe Holy Week at home.  A special Holy Week guide has been created and will come by mail or emailed to you.   Take time each day to read the scripture for that day and an action for that day.

Our Prayer Group continues to meet on Tuesdays and bible studies are taking place.  You are welcome to join us.  Contact me for more information or just to share prayer concerns and joys.

Your prayers and support during this time are greatly appreciated.

Keep safe while at home.

Blessings,

Jeffrey Dick

Sunday Worship—Palm Sunday

This is Palm Sunday.   Palm branches will be at the front doors of the church from 10 am to 5 pm if you want to stop by.

Our worship will once again be live on the church Facebook page.  A link to that is on our website.  Hopefully this week, even if you don’t have Facebook you can watch it.  If you don’t have internet, we are recording the service and you can request a cd by calling the church.

Each Sunday we will record a worship service.  For those with internet access it will be live on Facebook.  If you don’t have Facebook, you can find a link to that on our web page.  Look for it Sunday morning at 10:25.

If you don’t have internet, a bulletin can be mailed to you.  You can also request a recorded cd of the service and we will deliver it to you.
