SUMMARY:Candlelight Vigil
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a candlelight vigil for lament and healing. We will gather at the baptismal font for a short time of prayer\, lament\, and hope\, as well as singing and candle lighting.

SUMMARY:Palm Sunday Intergenerational Learning
DESCRIPTION:On Palm Sunday\, the community will gather for the last of our Intergenerational Learning events for the year. Like last year\, we will build Bible story dioramas with Peeps and other Easter candy treats. Using our hands and imaginations\, parents\, grandparents\, and children decide on stories and then build a model to tell the story they’ve chosen. Over the past several years\, we’ve seen everything from God creating the heavens and the earth to Jonah to The Last Supper and more. It’s not too early to begin thinking about what story you’d like to share! Following the diorama extravaganza\, the children will lead us into worship in a wonderful Palm Sunday opening with a great parade and a musical offering.
