Good morning church,
Here’s the plan for worship over the next two weeks.
Join us for worship online or in person at any of our three services this Sunday as we recount the Passion of our Lord. The form of the service will include readings from Mark 15 with musical responses to the scripture.
Our Holy Week services this year will be simple. On Maundy Thursday, April 1, I will be leading in prayer and scripture and serving communion. There will be two services at 12 noon and at 7 pm in the sanctuary.
On Good Friday, April 2, we will have three identical services. The services will include a reading of the Passion narrative from John as well as prayer and quiet reflection. There will be three services at 12 noon, 3 pm, and 7 pm in the sanctuary.
We will have all three of our regularly scheduled worship services on Easter Sunday – 9:30 am at the Well for contemporary worship and 8:45 am and 11 am in the sanctuary for traditional worship. Please note the traditional services will be the same and have the same special music, so if you usually go to 11 but would be willing to attend 8:45 on Easter Sunday this would free up more room (prepare the way) for others who may visit at 11 am.
Grace and Peace.

Confirmation Class 2021
Plans are being made now for our next Confirmation class. Confirmation is an opportunity for young people to confirm for themselves the faith we as the church have sought to raise them in. This year, the class is open to all youth in 6th grade and above. If your daughter or son has not been confirmed and would like to be part of this class, please contact us in the office at 706-745-2073. I look forward to hearing from you.
Grace and Peace, Don
