Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Passover

This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday!  Holy Week is right around the corner.

Rev. David Dalke will be leading worship and preaching at the traditional services this weekend, incorporating our children and our Joyful Noise Children's Choir in worship.  David's sermon title is "What About Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday?"  It will surely be a wonderful celebration and beginning to our Holy Week observances of the last week of Jesus' life on earth.

Speaking of Holy Week, we are offering several opportunities to help all in the community experience the power of the story of Jesus' last days, not just in remembrance but in current experience.  Please follow this link to our website to see the schedule: http://www.fcfumc.net/resources/worship-themes

We should also note that this year, our Holy Week corresponds to our Jewish friends' and neighbors' observance and celebration of Passover, which begins at sundown on Monday, April 14th, and continues with the Feast of Unleavened Bread until the evening of Tuesday, April 22nd.  Tov Pesach, Chaverim!  We at Ft. Collins First United Methodist Church wish you a rich and meaningful celebration of this most sacred of your holidays.

The blessings of the Lord be with you all in the coming week.

Steve
