Dear youth and parents, It's a busy week here at UCC, but one filled with great opportunities to remember the events of Holy Week. Last night we gathered with Jesus in the upper room at our Maundy Thursday service, tonight we'll follow him to the cross during our Good Friday worship at 7:30, and on Easter Sunday there will be five opportunities to celebrate Christ's resurrection (6:45, 8, 9:30, 11, and 5 p.m.). I'll be preaching at the 6:45 sunrise service in the courtyard, so if you're an early riser I'll look forward to seeing you there!
Grace and Peace, Russ
