Palm Cross Making and Game Night
On Friday, March 27, come at 6:00 p.m. to fashion palm crosses to be worn on Palm Sunday. Bring snacks if you like. Many hands make light work (once you figure it out). When we wrap up the palm crosses (around 7ish) monthly game night will get underway on its usual last Friday of the month.

Palm Sunday Worship
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.

Maundy Thursday
On Maundy Thursday, 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.

Tenebrae Service
On Good Friday, 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.

Easter Sunday Worship
Easter service 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.

Ash Wednesday Evening Service
The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. These forty days invite us to introspection, confession, repentance, and amendment of life. It begins with that solemn word, “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.” Between disease, war, and other tragedies, there is no shortage of reminders that life is uncertain and brief. What do we make of this fact? Getting right with God and with neighbor would be a good response. The Scriptures and prayers and the imposition of ashes and Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper help mark a fitting and meaningful start to our Lenten journey. We hope to live stream the evening service.

Chili Cook-Off & Souper Bowl of Caring
Souper Bowl of Caring began at Spring Valley Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC on Super Bowl Sunday 1990, with a prayer at a youth group, “Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those without a bowl of soup to eat.” Between now and February 8, you can bring canned goods and place them in the bins in the narthex. You can also give money for Souper Bowl of Caring. These donations will go to First Presbyterian Church Soup Kitchen. We invite/encourage you to bring chili for lunch following worship on February 8, and you can “vote with your dollars” on which was best.
