Chat - 4/10/14

Holy Week is upon us, with Palm Sunday this Sunday, April 13. Worship will recall Christ’s entry into Jerusalem beginning with a procession of palms and festive music.  The service then moves to anticipate the coming days of Holy Week with a reading from Matthew’s Gospel of the Passion of Jesus.  A coffee hour will be held following the service in the fellowship hall.  Confirmation 2 and new mentors will meet at 4:00 to bake bread.

Consistory will meet at 7:00 p.m on Monday.

The Gospel of John study continues on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.

The Carol, Chancel, and Bell choirs will rehearse on Wednesday.  A Green Team meeting will be held at 6:30.

The Maundy Thursday service will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall with communion at the tables.  There will not be stations of the cross as previously advertised.  We will move to the sanctuary around 7:30 p.m. for the Tenebrae service.

A Community Good Friday service will be held at the Orrville Christian Church on Friday, 7:00 p.m. 

Also on Friday--Newsletter deadline and Confirmation field trip (meet in parking lot at 6:15).

Christ Church is scheduled to provide and serve a meal at the Miller Avenue Church in Akron next Saturday, April 19, 10-2.  We could still use some volunteers to come along and help serve.  Also, if you are able to donate 2 dozen hard-boiled eggs or 2 dozens cupcakes for the group to take along, please sign-up on the office bulletin board.  You can call the office or contact Sharon if you have any questions.
