I invite you to join us for this last bit of Holy Week. In particular, please join us for our Good Friday Evening service at 8:00 pm.  Several of our young people from our youth group have worked very hard to create a service that will address some of the structural sins prevalent in our society.  This service promises to be both provocative and helpful.

Then on Saturday morning at 9am there is a short, quiet service intended to offer each of us an opportunity to reflect on the death of Christ.  Saturday night we will transition from death to life, from crucifixion to resurrection with our first service of Easter--the Easter Vigil at 8:00 pm.  We'll gather to hear stories of God's work in our world, we'll have fabulous music, baptisms and an opportunity to sit in the dark and discern where it is that God is working in our lives.

Easter Sunday morning we will gather as the women who followed Jesus did some 2000 years ago and confront the meaning of an empty tomb in our 21st century lives.

There is, of course, also the Community wide Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday from 10 to Noon--rain or shine. With a special visit from the Easter bunny.

Typically Easter signals the slowing of the church year--but that is definitely not the case for us this season.  The Sunday after Easter is our 15th Annual Ravenswood Run--we need your assistance volunteering.  Please, please click here to sign up to help.  Remember that we will not have either an 8 or a 9 worship service on the day of the run--only the 11 o'clock.

May 1 will also be Beau Surratt's first official Sunday as our Associate for Music and Administration!  So I very much hope that all of you will volunteer at the run and then stay for his first Sunday worship service to welcome him to our Sunday morning community.

Easter is coming--Spring--it appears not so much!

All my best,

Bonnie

P.S. Easter Morning plan on arriving a bit earlier and bringing bells to ring during the services.
