Morning prayer on Zoom continues the first three Wednesdays in December.  We sing a hymn, read Scripture, and pray by name for each person on the prayer list.  Email Pastor Mike to receive the link to join us.  We try to open the room by 9:20 a.m. so we can chat and visit, start at 9:30, and conclude by 10:00.

Peace by Piece, the craft group, is currently working on church banners.  Please join them if your interests run in this vein as well.  Peace by Piece meets in the fellowship room Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. except the Tuesday that Presbyterian Women Day Circle meets (the second Tuesday of the month).

Easter service on April 20 at Grace Presbyterian Church is at 11:00 a.m. as we celebrate the joy of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  After worship there will be a potluck lunch – please bring a bit extra so that we have ample food for visitors and out of town family.  An egg hunt will follow for the children.

Children up through 5th grade are invited to hunt for eggs, and families are invited to stay for a light lunch after the egg hunt.  Please help by donating candy and small prizes (we have plenty of plastic eggs).  There is a donation box in the narthex as well as sign-up sheets for donations for items needed for lunch and for set up, clean up, and other egg hunt duties.  This is also a chance to give to the community as the Grace Childcare children are invited with their families. 

We will also have a small egg hunt after potluck on Easter Sunday, April 20.  

On Good Friday, April 18, we also worship at 7:30 p.m.  This is the service of Tenebrae, a series of Scripture readings and the extinguishing of candles, emblematic of the gathering darkness surrounding the crucifixion, punctuated by three sung solos of Holy Week texts.  This service also contains some ancient liturgy and practices, particularly the “loud knocking,” indicative of resurrection, the first glimmer of hope of Easter.

On Maundy Thursday, April 17, the “sacrificial soup” meal begins at 6:30 p.m.  This meal follows the pattern of the early church’s evening fellowship meals or love feasts, held prior to their formal sharing of Communion.  Worship begins at 7:30 p.m.  This service celebrates the institution of the Lord’s Supper, and so we celebrate this sacrament.  This service also incorporates some of the church’s ancient liturgy associated with Maundy Thursday and Good Friday and concludes with the “stripping of the church,” in which worshipers remove items used in the sanctuary so that the church is bare and without decoration or adornment on Good Friday.

Palm/Passion Sunday is April 13.  We sing “All Glory, Laud and Honor” to the Jesus who comes to save us from sin, though not in the way we might have imagined. We look forward to the children processing about the sanctuary waving their palm branches during the hymn.  Palm Sunday is also Passion Sunday and the service on this day concludes with reading the Passion Narrative (this year from Luke) with members of the church taking various parts along with several responses by the entire congregation. (These reading parts will be assigned following worship on April 6.)
