Please join us in the following virtual services and celebrations of Holy Week.
PALM SUNDAY – April 5th virtual service at 10am (Zoom or Facebook)
Palms will be available outside of the meetinghouse Friday and Saturday. Feel free to stop by and pick some up if you are interested in palm waving and making the service feel a little more participatory. Also Mrs. G has a cool virtual palm craft for kids of all ages planned for Saturday afternoon.
MAUNDY THURSDAY – April 9th virtual service at 7pm (Zoom (note different log-in) or Facebook)

A complete description of the service will be made available by email and on the website in advance of the service.
