This Holy Week, we invite you to participate in several events in the life of the church.
Palm Sunday, April 13:All Children, grades K-5, are invited to participate in our Palms Procession during the Prelude this Sunday morning! Pleased arrive by 9:50 to get a palm by the Lyceum doors.
We will not be doing a Maundy Thursday service this year. Instead, on Good Friday, April 18, from 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm, at Alcoa High School, we will invite you to participate in various 'spiritual activity stations' that will help you experience Jesus' story of Holy Week: a foot-washing station, and a chance to nail your sins to a cross, and other similar activities. Each station is child friendly and will have an assistant to lead you through the activity. The length of time at each station is self-guided. 30-40 minutes is the estimated time it will take to experience all 5-6 stations. You are welcome to join in any time between 5:00 pm and 6:15 pm. Then, we will have our Good Friday service beginning on Friday, April 18, at 6:30 pm at Alcoa High School, starting in the Atrium this year. We will walk along with Jesus' journey in Scripture from his last supper, through the Garden of Gethsemane, to His trials and the cross. While families of all ages are encouraged to experience the Holy Week stations, there will be no children's classes or nursery provided during the Good Friday worship service. Parents, please use your discretion about bringing young children.
Our one Easter worship service will be at the normal time of 10:00 am on Sunday, April 20.
