16 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. Worship is at 10:30 AM with nursery care and church school during the same hour.
March 20 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 7:30 PM in the Sanctuary.
March 21 Good Friday
The Community Good Friday service will be held at noon on Good Friday, March 21. The location this year for our community service will be at the Sebastopol United Methodists Church.

23 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.
