Palm Sunday @ LCPC - Worship, One Great Hour of Sharing, & Seder (Passover) Lunch!

  Palm/Passion Sunday, March 24th, 10:00 a.m.

We begin Holy Week worship together with procession of palms, singing from our Kids Choir and adult choir.Together we'll explore the scripture detailing the moments of passion from God's people crying "Hosanna" to Jesus declaring "It is finished" at his death on the cross. Nursery care (for ages 0-3) and classes for children, age 3 through sixth grade, will be provided during the service. Following worship - all are invited to process together to the Fellowship Hall for a Seder meal lunch (symbolic of Jesus' last supper with his disciples).

Seder/Passover Lunch

Everyone is invited to stay for a free Seder lunch after worship this Sunday hosted by LCPC Board of Deacons and facilitated by Amy Spanne. This is a meal traditionally celebrated in Jewish culture during Passover and is likely the meal Jesus and his disciples shared during the "Last Supper". We'll be learning about the Passover Seder meal, it's roots in Biblical history, and how it is relevant to Christians today. This is a family-friendly event.

Soup, Sandwich, & Sabbath - Study for Lent on Sundays -11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m

For four Sundays during Lent, the LCPC Christian Education Committee invites you to stay after worship for a light lunch and study of the new book “Sabbath in the Suburbs” by MaryAnn McKibben Dana. She is a Presbyterian pastor in Virginia who writes about the challenges and benefits of making space for intentional spiritual rest and renewal. Pastor Sandy liked the book so much that she’d like to read it with a group of you. CE is hoping that a Sunday lunch time will allow more of you to participate than our previous Wednesday Lent evening soup suppers & study.

Sunday, February 17^th the Sabbath in the Suburbs & lunch/class will begin, 11:30am -12:30pm.  

Sunday, February 24^th there will still be lunch, Sabbath book study is on hold while LCPC Mission Committee has an event planned for all to experience: Presenters will be LCPC members and missionaries - Stan & Mary Jeppesen sharing about their medical mission to Guatemala and Ann Powell will share about her mission trip to Kenya.

Sundays, March 3rd, 10th, and 17th: Sabbath in the Suburbs Books study resumes for the next three Sundays. Again, lunch will also be served.

Sunday March 24th, which is Palm Sunday - pencil in the date and watch for more information as a Seder meal will be served as preparation for Holy Week.

Finally:  EASTER! is Sunday, March 31st this year.  You’ll be on your own for lunch, but it will be a glorious day to celebrate in worship together!

You don’t have a copy of the book?? That’s alright here are three ways to participate:

1) No reading necessary – come to the study and glean from others

2) Pick up a copy of the book at LCPC for a suggested donation of $14.

3) Download “Sabbath in the Suburbs” to your e-reader or in a PDF Format. Visit SabbathintheSuburbs.wordpress.com to find options via Chalice Press and Amazon.com.

Seahawks Playoffs this Sunday!

A note from Pastor Sandy: Every 5 years or so, there is a miracle and the Seattle Seahawks make it into the playoffs. Even more rarely does a playoff game coincide with worship, but this Sunday it does. Acknowledging how many fans there are in our congregation, we are planning worship to be 45 minutes or less this week, and are working hard to figure out how to play the game live in fellowship hall so you can tune in ASAP. The Hawks generally pick up speed after the first quarter anyway. Hope to see you all on Sunday at 10 a.m.
