Good morning church,
And happy Mother’s Day! Today’s church service will include some extras. You will see our beautiful Mother’s Day picture show as the prelude. You will see the belated blessing of our Paschal Candle, donated by the Duffy family. And there will be a Holy Communion part to this service. In order to participate, please find some bread in your house, set it on a nice plate. Find some wine or grape juice or if you don’t have either, use simple water and put it in a cup before you. As the communion elements are consecrated in the service, consider the bread and wine before you consecrated. We are doing our first virtual Holy Communion today, out of pure necessity.
DO NOT FORGET THE MOTHER’S DAY DRIVE THROUGH AT CHURCH FROM 11AM – 12 NOON!
The Mother’s Day gift is not just for the moms among us. It is for everyone, as we remember the special women in our lives who birthed and/or raised us. The seeds can be put into soil somewhere around your home; they will turn into beautiful flowers. The bag comes with seeds, a marker, and a nice little sign that you can stick in the ground to remember your mother or grandmother. As we did on Palm Sunday, we ask that you enter the drive-through from the upper Parking Lot (2nd Street) and exit on the lower Parking Lot (Montgomery Ave). There will also be an opportunity to drop off your church offering. I ALSO HEARD THAT THERE IS SOMEONE SPECIAL IN THE PARKING LOT AT THAT TIME FOR OUR YOUNGEST CHILDREN, SOMEONE YOU WOULDN’T EXPECT… YOU NEED TO CHECK IT OUT, KIDS!
Finally, I would like to thank all who helped with the recording of the service, which will be posted on our Website and Facebook page at 9:00 a.m. They are highlighted in the service script below: the Clark family, the Brenfleck family, the Bodolus family, Bernie and Martha H., as well as our recorded musicians, Roy and Kirsten, Liz, Gretchen, and Lili S. Thank you all! Please don’t forget to support your church during these times, either by sending in your offering via envelope or by using the online-giving button below. We sincerely thank you!
