Hey Everyone,
I hope you are all well and enjoying the lovely weather here in Lake City (sorry to those of you in the Texas heat, you’ll just have to come back sooner). I’m writing you today from 20,000 feet on my flight to Denver. Ahhh… the joys of modern technology.
This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday, which begins our journey into Holy Week–the final week of the Lenten season. This Sunday, March 29th, we’ll gather together with the other churches of Lake City for our Community Palm Sunday Service. It will be held at the First Baptist Fellowship Hall and will begin at our normal time for worship–10:00am. We will be broadcasting the service for all our online friends. The Zoom link for the service and the order of worship can be found below.
For those attending the service in person, please plan on staying after the service for a time of ecumenical fellowship with coffee and cinnamon buns (graciously donated by the Country Store). In addition to preaching the sermon, I’ll also be leading the folding of the palms after the service, so don’t leave until you have a chance to enjoy the refreshments, fold a palm into a cross, and connect with other Christians in our community.
The Holy Week Schedule can be found below and is also in the downloadable online order of worship. This year, I decided to take a break from our showing of The Passion of the Christ, but we will be having our final session of the Bible Study on the Beatitudes on Spy Wednesday, April 1st. Join us at 5:00pm that evening for an exploration of the Gospel of Luke’s account of the Beatitudes.
One more important announcement, if you are planning on joining us for our Sacred Meal of Remembrance on Maundy Thursday, April 2nd, please physically sign up on the sheet on the bulletin board in Darley Hall or text me and let me know. RSVP by Monday, March 30th. Space is limited, so please do not delay.
That’s it for this week folks. Below you can find your links for the Community Palm Sunday Service and our final session on the Beatitudes and the order of worship for Sunday.
