Bring a Flower with You

to Worship on Easter Morning

Palm Sunday was a very good day here at Westminster. Sunday school classes, worship, dinner, along with egg hunts and train rides, parachute fun, crafts and games all made for a fun, happy and exciting time for everyone. Thanks to all of you who came and participated. Thanks too, to the Outreach, Fellowship and Worship Committees for all their hard work.

Do not forget that the congregation will gather for communion on Thursday evening at 7:00 and again on Friday evening at 5:15 to remember Jesus' sacrificial death. Holy Week is central to what God has graciously done for us. Take time to worship, remember and be thankful.

This Sunday for Easter worship I would like to try something that will only work if the congregation participates and helps me. I would like for every worshipper to bring some type of flower, it could be a very small flowering branch from a tree or a bush, a tulip or some other cut flower. We will use these flowers to transform the cross that is in the front of the church, from an instrument of death to a symbol of new life and beauty.

Will you help me do this? I think it will be a meaningful moment in our service of Easter. If you have some flowers in your yard that can be shared, maybe you could bring some extra to share with those who will be visiting with us or for some who just may forget. I'll bring a small bouquet and see what we can create together.

Thanks in advance for your help and support.
