Christ is Risen Indeed!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
John 11:25-27 (NIV)

Sunday, April 20, Trinity’s Annual Easter Breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m., after the early service. This Breakfast event is a potluck, all items prepared by the congregation.

Good Friday
On Good Friday, please join us at Trinity for this meaningful worship as we symbolically walk with Jesus to his death on the cross.
All are Welcome.
The Death of Jesus
Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19: 28-30 (NIV)
Maundy Thursday
On this Holy Thursday we celebrate the last meal of Jesus Christ by partaking in a symbolic seder meal. We celebrate and remember with readings, songs, food and wine (red and white). This year we will be adding communion with Matzah and wine, plus a song from the Celebration Singers.
The Symbolic Seder Meal consists of multiple components:
Beitzah (Hard Boiled Egg)
Karpas (Vegetables dipped in salt water)
Chazeret and Maror (Bitter Herbs aka Horseradish)
Charoset (Apples, Walnuts, and Wine)
Z’ro’a (Lamb Bones - we use just lamb)
Matzah (Unleavened Flatbread)
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Luke 22:19-20 (NIV)
Palm Sunday
Please join us as we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. At Trinity we do a palm parade, we are led in song through the Sancturary. It is a tradition that starts us off on our journey through Holy Week.
All are Welcome.
A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosannain the highest heaven!”
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” Matthew 21:8-11 (NIV)
Ash Wednesday
Please join us for our Ash Wednesday Service.
All Are Welcome.
“From the dust we were made and to the dust we shall return” (Genesis 3:19)
