PALM SUNDAY – April 13
On this day, Christians around the world remember the true King’s arrival to the holy city of Jerusalem. And as we look back to the last week of Jesus’s earthly ministry, we also look forward with anticipation to his promised return to the New Jerusalem that is to come!
GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE with Communion- April 18, 7:00 P.M.
One of the most important events on the Christian calendar, this somber service commemorates Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross for us. We will sing the great hymns of our faith, interspersed with readings from the four Gospels recounting the events surrounding the crucifixion. This is a special occasion to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.”
EASTER FESTIVAL - Saturday, April 19 - 10:00 A.M.-11:00 A.M.
All children who are walking through 5th grade are invited to join us for our annual Easter Festival. Come for time together as families, games for the kids, a Bible lesson, and an egg hunt! We will stagger the start times of the egg hunt on the back lawn so that all children will be able to easily hunt for eggs. Bring your own basket or bag!
Volunteers are needed to help hide eggs, send refreshments, set up the Fellowship Hall, and clean up after the event. You name it and we have a place for you to help!
Please reach out to Joni Mindrebo at jmindrebo@slpca.org for more information, or to volunteer to serve. And please prayerfully invite friends and family to participate.
EASTER SUNDAY – April 20
On Easter we celebrate that through Jesus’s death and resurrection, the estrangement from God is reconciled! This year we’ll consider his early morning appearance to Mary Magdalene at the tomb which describes the significance of what Jesus accomplished: new relationships! Now Jesus refers to the disciples as “my brothers”. God is now “your Father” and “your God”. Easter is about the healing of broken relationships as all things are made new!
Invite friends and family to attend the Easter service and rejoice with us in our reconciliation with God through Jesus.
