April 5 - Services for Easter weekend

Blessings,

 

This message is coming out a day early because of the BIG weekend coming up. In fact the events start tomorrow night with the Seder (Pot-Luck) Supper: So here's what's ahead.

Maundy Thursday (Tomorrow), 5 April, 5:30 pm (a change in time) - A Seder for Christians Experience the special Passover Meal that became Communion for the Church. Our Spirit West Seder will be a Pot-luck Supper set in the midst of the Passover remembrance. This is an experience for the whole family (bring children). Come join us. In order to set tables for the right number we need to know how many are coming. If you want to come but haven't signed the sheet or called the church already please call 780-481-1406 or email the chuch. spiritw@telus.net right away!

Good Friday, 6 April, 10:30 am - The Way of the Cross. With Prayer, Readings and Music contemplate the journey to Calvary as you view scenes of Christ's Passion as it has been depicted by artists through the centuries.

Easter Sunday, 8 April, 10:30 - The Celebration of the Resurrection. Come join the joyful celebration of the central story of our Christian faith. If you wish to add to the beauty of the Church for this special time by lending us plants or floral arrangements, please bring them, if you can, to the Church on Good Friday. You can also bring them Easter Sunday morning.

 

I look forward to seeing you,

 

Larry Wright
