Happy Easter!!

Dear Friends in Christ -

Alleluia! Christ is risen!!

Though the skies today are gray, we continue to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord - the one who conquered sin and death for us.

In this joyful time, I offer you a bit of laughter which, I believe, is the best medicine for a gloomy day.

Wishing you joy and felicity,
Janet+

Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong preaching on the devil. One said to the other, 'What do you think about all this Satan stuff?' The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad.'

Palm Sunday Procession begins in the Parish Hall

Dear Friends in Christ -

Well, Easter is VERY early this year, which means Palm Sunday is VERY early this year. And the predictable is happening - rain and snow! Soooooooo, we're going to do what the people have done from the beginning of time - adapt!

This year's procession for the 10:00 a.m. service will begin in the PARISH HALL, instead of the green.

Come join in - the tradition will continue - just indoors instead of outside!
Faithfully yours,
Janet+
