Reminder:   All the month of April I am featuring an Easter series of messages.  Thursday, the 17th is our Maundy Thursday service at 7 pm.

I do know that day, the service will run from noon to 3 pm...my part in the service will be from noon to about 12:30 pm...come and join me at that time. Different ministers will have various parts in the service (7 sections in all). Stay through one or more of the sessions...leave when you are ready. It is designed so that you can come and go as you see fit.
