March 16 - Palm Sunday worship  -  when you arrive on March 16^th, the ushers will ask whether you want to be part of the crowd waiting in Jerusalem (seated in the sanctuary) or whether you want to process into Jerusalem with Jesus (wait in the narthex for the processional). Everyone — children, youth and adults will receive palm leaves to wave as part of our opening processional / call to worship.
March 16 - Palm Sunday Breakfast  - sponsored by the men — March 16^th served from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm—with pancakes, sausage, eggs, juice and coffee. There is no charge but a donation basket will be available so that expenses may be paid. Cooks are needed from 9:30-12:30 and clean-up people are needed from noon on. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex, or call the church office if you can help out — 440-237-7663.
March 20 - Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday) -  Jesus invites you to the Upper Room. The time of receiving Holy Communion will begin at 7:00 pm with the consecration of the elements of communion. After the consecration, the elements will be with “Jesus” in the Upper Room (the altar level of the chancel area) where a disciple will escort you to receive communion and then escort you back to your seat. The Chancel Choir will provide music for the hour during which communion will be served. You may come for prayer and meditation until a disciple takes you to the Upper Room and remain for prayer after or be on your way for the evening. The 12 disciples will escort persons to the Upper Room at 10 minute intervals during the evening—12 persons at a time to share the “Last Supper with Jesus.”
March 21 - Good Friday -  Beginning at 3:00 pm on Good Friday, the sanctuary will be open for prayer. A member of the confirmation class will be present if you would have any questions or needs. Come and go as you please for prayer—materials will be provided. The Vigil will end at 7:00 pm when our 2008 Confirmation Class will lead those who gather in the Good Friday Tenebrae service of extinguishing the light. This is a reflective / meditative service of scripture, music and extinguishing of all light including the Christ Candle, as we remember the death of Christ and prepare for the Easter Resurrection.
March 23 - Easter Sunday - we will have two identical traditional Easter worship services as in the past—both with joy-filled choir music and set with beautiful lilies and other
flowers at 8:30 am and 10:30 am. The 10:30 worship service will also be Family Sunday. y Week and Ester
