GRACE'S GREATEST BAKER
We know we have some pretty fantastic bakers in our congregation! Last year's competition was tough--can you take on last year's winner, Maggie Gardiner? Whether you want to bake something new, or you have a tried and true, passed-down-from-generations recipe in your family, we would love to enjoy your delicious treats on Easter morning! Only one will be named Grace's Greatest Baker. Sign up HERE.
HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE
Palm Sunday Worship Service
Sunday | March 24 | 9:30 a.m. | Sanctuary
Parents: arrive early so your children may participate in the traditional palm processional. Hosanna!
During the service, we will sing a new song, “In the Name of the Lord.” This is an worship song written for the upcoming VBS CD and Sunday morning services. If you would like to be a part of the recording of this song, please stay after service for 10-15 minutes in the Sanctuary so we can review and record.
Maundy Thursday Remembrance and Supper
Thursday | March 28 | 6:30 p.m. | MT Fellowship Hall
This multi-generational supper is a mosaic of beautiful traditions that we cherish from the past meshed with the new traditions we are making together as the Grace family of today. We will be led by Scripture as we walk through the final moments Jesus had with his disciples at the Last Supper.
Good Friday Worship Service
Friday | March 29 | 7 p.m. | Sanctuary
Livestream available HERE.
A solemn evening service for this, the darkest of days of remembrance. You will gain a new understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice and the reason for each day of reflection and remembrance during Holy Week. The service will make Easter even more joyful, as the darkness and reflection of the Good Friday Tenebrae service will remind us on Easter Sunday of all the many reasons to praise him through every season!
