March
20 Palm Sunday 
On this Sunday we commemorate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem with a palm processional and special music by our Chancel, Children’s and Brass Choirs. Individual palm crosses will be distributed at the close of worship. Worship is at 10:30 AM with nursery care and church school during the same hour.
March 24 Maundy Thursday
During this service we remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples in the Upper Room. As candlelight fills the Sanctuary, we gather 12 at a time around the communion table to receive the Lord’s Supper. The service then concludes with the moving service of Tenebrae - the extinguishing of the lights as the story of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion is read. Childcare is available. The Maundy Thursday service will begin at 7 PM in the Sanctuary. The service will be preceded with a simple Soup Supper at 6:15 in Fellowship Hall.
March 25 Good Friday
The Community Good Friday service will be held at noon at the Sebastopol United Methodist Church.
March 27 Easter Sunday
We
celebrate Christ’s resurrection and the triumph of life over death with two
joyous worship services at 9 AM and 11 AM. The Chancel, Brass and Handbell
Choirs, will participate, the church will be decked with lilies and banners and
we will conclude with the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus. Despair gives way
to hope, death gives way to life, as we worship and celebrate together.
