March Worship Schedule 2025

Sunday, March 30: Worship
The gospel reading is the story of the prodigal son. IT is a great story and one that always leaves
us asking ourselves, “Are we the older brother or the younger brother?” and does it really matter
because their father loves both of them with an amazing love neither deserve.
Preacher: Pastor Paula

Wednesday, April 2: “The Gift of the Ten Commandments”
God gives God’s people the gift of the Ten Commandments. We often see is as a set of rules that
God demands we obey, but God’s intent was to give God’s people a guideline on how to live and be
free.  I invite you to read the following scripture before worship… Exodus 20: 1-12

Sunday, April 6:   Worship with Holy Communion                                                                                

In today’s gospel lesson Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with an expensive bottle of oil.  Judas thinks it is a waste, but Jesus appreciates her lavish gift as an expression of her love and anticipation of his burial.                                                                                                                                                 

Preacher:  Pastor Paula

Wednesday, April 9:  “At the Border of the Promised Land”

After wondering in the wilderness for 40 years God’s people are about to enter the Promised Land.  They have dreamed of this day for forty years, but Moses tells them that they will face new  challenges in this land.  They will be tempted to forget God and God’s commandments.  The  consequence of such a choice leads to death.  But if you love God, walk in God’s ways and keep God’s commandments you will live, really live, live exuberantly, blessed by God.

I invite you to read the following scripture before worship… Deuteronomy 30 – 31:8

Sunday, April 13:  Palm Sunday – Worship with Holy Communion                                                                      

Today you get the WHOLE STORY of Easter Week.  The WHOLE STORY is what makes Easter Sunday truly a celebration of God’s love.  It will be told through various means – scripture – costumed characters – pictures – special music – and even a parade at the 9:15 a.m. service.                                                                                                                                                                             

Preacher:  Pastor Paula

 

Sunday, April 20:  Easter Sunday – Worship with Holy Communion                                                                  

This year we hear the good news of Jesus’ resurrection as recorded in the gospel of Luke.  In Luke’s gospel, Mary and Elizabeth are the first to believe that God is doing something new.  God is sending God’s Son into this world.  After his crucifixion, it is Mary Magdalene who is the first to encounter the resurrected Jesus and to tell the disciples that Jesus lives.                                                                                                                                                                                                

Preacher:  Pastor Paula Special Music:  First Class Ringers and Chancel Choir 

 

Sunday, April 27:  Worship                                                                                                                                                                   

Today John’s gospel tells us of Jesus’ first appearance to his disciples.  Thomas is not present and will not believe until he sees the resurrected Jesus for himself.  A week later Jesus gives him that opportunity.                                                                                                                                           

Preacher:  Sandy Grant

Wednesday nights during Lent we will have Children’s Church in the
gym from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We will be learning about the life of Moses
through a short video and discussion, along with crafts, games and snacks that
reinforce that week’s Lesson. We will be following along with the same topics as
discussed in the Lenten services at a level for kids in 3K through 6th grade.

April 2nd: Moses and the Gift of the 10 Commandments
April 9th: Moses finds the Promised Land
