March 29th
The Fifth Sunday of Lent
Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the
unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love
what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and
varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where
true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
8am: Holy Eucharist
Our early service is unaccompanied by music and usually lasts about 50 minutes. Coffee and fellowship are offered before the service begins in the parish hall, while the sanctuary is available for quiet prayer. Another coffee hour follows the service.
10am: Holy Eucharist
This Eucharistic service is accompanied by our choir of mixed adult voices and organ, or on second Sundays of each month by Soul Purpose, our contemporary band. Nursery care and children's education are available during this service. A festival reception for kids and adults follows the service.
11:30am: Music rehearsals
Following the worship services, our musical groups gather to prepare for the next weeks' offerings.

Upcoming Events
The Way of the Cross: A Visual Pilgrimage through Fourteen Stations and their Icons. Often called the Stations of the Cross, this is an ancient series of prayers originally practiced by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. Worshippers will be seated in the pews while a series of images are projected, to represent each station. The traditional prayers will accompany the images, and music will provide space for reflection and meditation. This worship opportunity is available on Friday evenings at 7pm on March 6, 13, 20, 27, and April 3.
The Emergency Food Network (EFN) is offering us an opportunit to
help with their Repack Project. Volunteers will pack frozen bulk
product - corn, peas, mixed
vegetables, etc. - into one and two pound family sized bags. These bags
will then be distributed to those in need at Pierce County food banks.
