EASTER EGG HUNT
We are in need of individually wrapped candy for the upcoming Easter Egg Hunt.
When you do your grocery shopping, please pick up a bag of candy and bring it to the
church by Tuesday, March 25. There will be a box in the lobby outside the Sanctuary
for you to place your items.
MAUNDY THURSDAY
As we prepare to worship, we ask that all cell phones and beepers be turned off and that food
and drinks remain outside the Sanctuary. Parents, we want this time to be a meaningful experience of worship for you and we understand that children are children. If your child needs attention, our nursery is available and is equipped with a closed-circuit TV so you can continue to
participate in the worship service while tending to the needs of your child. Thank you!
Join us for our Maundy Thursday service which will be held on April 2 at 7:00 PM in
the Fellowship Hall. We will gather around tables for a time of food and fellowship
which will lead into our time of worship and communion.

Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who
art in heaven,
hallowed be thy
name. Thy
kingdom come,
thy will be done
on earth as it is
in heaven. Give
us this day our
daily bread, and
forgive us our
debts as we forgive our debtors,
and lead us not
into
temptation but
deliver us from
evil. For Thine is
the kingdom and
the power and
the glory forever. Amen
Prayer of Confession:
Have mercy on us, O Lord, according to Your steadfast love. We
come, hoping to see Jesus and to be changed by His love. Our sins
are always before us. We admit to You that we have not followed
You with our whole heart. We have not treasured Your word within
us, nor have we served You faithfully. We have wronged our
neighbor and broken Your laws. Yet in faithfulness You offer
forgiveness. You promise to blot out all of our offenses. Help us to
seek the joy of Your salvation, and sustain us with Your Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Spirit. Amen.
