Thursday, April 13, 2017 Maundy Thursday 7 p.m. Worship Service With nightfall our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the Three Days of Jesus' death and resurrection. At the heart of the Maundy Thursday liturgy is Jesus' commandment to love one another. As Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, we are called to follow his example as we humbly care for one another, especially the poor and the unloved. At the Lord's table we remember Jesus' sacrifice of his life, even as we are called to offer ourselves in love for the life of the world.
Readings:
Exodus 12:1-4 [5-10] 11-14 Psalm 116:1-2 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 John 11:1-45
Friday, April 14, 2017 Good Friday 7 p.m. Worship Service At the heart of the Good Friday liturgy is the passion according to John, which proclaims Jesus as a triumphant king who reigns from the cross. The ancient title for this day-the triumph of the cross-reminds us that the church gathers not to mourn this day but to celebrate Christ's life-giving passion and to find strength and hope in the tree of life. In the ancient bidding prayer we offer petitions for all the world for whom Christ died. Today's liturgy culminates in the Easter Vigil tomorrow evening.
Readings:
Isaiah 52:13--53:12 Psalm 22 Hebrews 10:16-25 John 18:1--19:42
Resurrection of Our Lord: Easter Day 10 a.m. Worship Service @ Holy Trinity On this day the Lord has acted! On the first day of the week God began creation, transforming darkness into light. On this, the "eighth day" of the week, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. We celebrate this new creation in the waters of baptism and in the feast of victory. With great joy we celebrate this day of days, even as we begin the great fifty days of Easter. Filled with hope, we go forth to share the news that Christ is risen!
Readings:
Acts 10:34-43 Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 Colossians 3:1-4 Matthew 28:1-10
All are welcome to receive Communion!

If you would like more information talk with Cynthia Bettini.
There are also local dining fundraisers. Restaurants are offering to donate between 10-20% of your food purchase to CROP Hunger Walk. If you're eating out consider one of these opportunities:

Commemorations for the Week: Olavus Petri, priest, died 1552; Laurentius Petri, Bishop of Uppsala, died 1573; renewers of the church
Wednesday, April 19, 2017
These two brothers studied with Luther at the University of Wittenberg and then returned to their native Sweden to introduce the Lutheran reforms. Olavus published a catechism and hymnal; Laurentius was a professor who defended the office of bishop and later became one.
Anselm, Bishop of Canterbury, died 1109
Friday, April 21, 2017
This eleventh-century monk was one of the greatest theologians of the Middle Ages. He is remembered for emphasizing the maternal aspects of God, and for the theory that the Son of God became human in order to make the necessary payment for our sin.

Mark, Evangelist
