As we journey to the cross this Holy Week, let Jesus be your guide through life.  We will begin the journey this evening with our Maundy Thursday service at 6:00 p.m., we continue with Good Friday services tomorrow evening at 6:00 p.m. where we will hear the Seven Last Words from the Cross followed by silence. We will keep faith in vigil through Holy Saturday and resume our worship on Easter Sunday.

I will be out of the office all next week (April 21-24) so that I can be with Tom in Salt Lake City when he has his surgery.  Please keep him, me and all the medical personnel in your prayers.

Please continue to utilize the nametags and be sure to greet and welcome Pastor Liz!
