Announcements for March 20

Vestry Meeting
The vestry meets this Monday, March 21, following the 7:00 PM celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

Palm Sunday is This Sunday – Come Early for the Blessing of the Palms 
The Liturgy (Blessing) of the Palms precedes each service. Weather permitting, we will gather at the outdoor altar for the blessing of the palms, then process to the church. For the early service, the Liturgy of the Palms begins at 7:55; for the later service, the Liturgy of the Palms begins at 9:40.

Sign up for the Watch
In commemoration of Jesus’ final night in the Garden of Gethsemane, it is our custom to keep watch over the Reserved Sacrament throughout the night following the Maundy Thursday evening service until noon on Good Friday. Shifts are for one hour. A sign up sheet is located in the back of the church.

Holy Week Services
We worship as a faithful community every day during Holy Week. A schedule was mailed with the Easter letter. Print copies are available on the information tables.

Youth Group Meets This Sunday at 4:00 PM
Create something beautiful! Bring a friend to the undercroft and wear clothes you don’t care about. Sometimes things have to get messy to arrive at the beautiful (sort of like the whole Lenten season). Call/text Dee McManamy with your t-shirt size (and your friend’s) if you haven’t already.

Help Prepare for the Easter Egg Hunt
Parishioners of all ages are asked to help fill Easter eggs during coffee hour this Sunday. Stop by the Conference Room to help out, so we can prepare for a fabulous Easter egg hunt.

Sunday School Classes on Vacation
Sunday School classes are on vacation this Sunday, March 20, and Easter Sunday, March 27. They will resume April 3.
