Easter

Holy Week Zoomunion and More

This year’s Holy Week will be unlike any other as we are called to worship together from

our homes. To help us preserve some of the traditions and rituals associated with Holy

Week you are encouraged to prepare in the following ways.

Palm Sunday, April 5th

Prepare for Jesus’ joyous arrival in Jerusalem.

The excitement begins on Saturday at noon.

 

Palms will be available in the parking lot by Beebe Hall on Saturday, April 4 from

12noon-2pm. You are welcome to drive by and pick up a fresh frond or a

prefolded palm cross. One per customer, please. We couldn’t order as many as

in previous years and we want everyone to have access. Be sure to have your

palm ready for our time of worship online.

 

● Please be sure to have a piece of bread, a roll, or a cracker available for online

communion on Sunday. You will also need a small cup of juice so that you can

Come on line and celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!

500 people to join us via Zoom! Just share this link with all of your family and friends (or

have them dial in a little before 10am to this number: 1 646 558 8656 and use Meeting

brought into the world, and promises still!

Holy Humor Sunday, April 26

In the early church, the Sunday after Easter was observed by the faithful as a

day of joy and laughter with parties and shenanigans to celebrate Jesus’

resurrection.

Prepare to celebrate online by:

● Finding a knock-knock joke that really makes you smile.

● Prepare to share it on Holy Humor Sunday via Zoom
