Lent Wednesdays & Holy Week Happenings


We still have Lent Wednesday Soup Supper & Bible Study going on tonight and next Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. All Ages welcome! 

* The Adult Bible Study class is focusing on Jesus' ministry and miracles in the Gospel books and people are really enjoying digging into the scripture. Each class topic stands on it its own - so if this is your first time attending - it's alright, you won't have to catch up!

* There are also classes for the middle/high school age crowd, elementary school age children, and nursery care is provided for infants/toddlers/preschool children.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up and coming in two weeks is Holy Week signifying Jesus' journey to the cross and eventually his resurrection at Easter. Here are a few dates to pencil or type into your calendar:

Palm Leaf Cross Folding Party - Saturday March 27th, 9:30 a.m. - Have you ever folded a palm leaf into a cross? It's a really neat trick to share with others once you've figured it out. Come join in on a Palm Cross folding party in preparation for Palm Sunday worship. The crosses will be handed out to all in attendance on Sunday morning. Children & youth welcome to participate!! Contact Nancy Walker for more information.

* Palm Sunday Worship - Sunday March 28th, 10:00 a.m. - Have you heard the word 'Hosanna' and wondered what that's all about? Join in worship as we acknowledge Jesus as the one who saves us from our sin and gives us a life of freedom. There will be waving of palm branches just as when the people ushered Jesus into Jerusalem as their Messiah-to-be.

* Maundy Thursday Worship - Thursday April 1st, 7:00 p.m. - Remembrance of Jesus' Last Supper with the disciples at Passover (Communion) and his commission to serve others by following his example. Pastor Sandra Hackett will preside over this service as her first official worship service at LCPC. Nursery care provided for children ages infant-4yrs.

* "Spruce the Church for Easter" Work Party - Saturday April 3rd. 9:00 a.m. to ???. We'll be spring-cleaning the church grounds and working on some inside tasks as well. (All ages and skill levels welcome!). Contact Steve Babinec or Irv Kellenberger with questions. 

* Easter Sunday Celebration - Sunday April 4th, 10:00 a.m. Worship Service, Nursery care provided for infants through age 3, Sunday school (including Egg Hunt) for grades K-5 provided during worship.
