Palm/Passion Sunday, March 16

At our 8:30 and 10:30 services, we experience a procession of the palms as we celebrate Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem to the loud praises of misunderstanding crowds. The service takes on a somber mood as we recall Christ's Passion.

Our annual Winter Resident Reception follows worship at 11:30 in Briggs Hall. Everyone is encouraged to attend as we recognize the folks who so enrich this church during the winter season. It gives us an opportunity to get to know one another better, and to say farewell as folks begin returning north.

Maundy Thursday, March 20,

7:30 pm in the sanctuary

We remember our Lord's Last Supper with his disciples and his command to "love one another." The service concludes with the choir performing a congregational favorite--A Service of Shadows by Lani Smith. The sanctuary is progressively darkened as the music is sung, until we are in the darkness of the tomb as the Christ candle is carried out. We leave in silence to await the resurrection morn.

Easter, March 23

Celebrate our new life in Christ with festival services at 8:30 & 10:30 in our sanctuary. A brass quartet accompany the hymns and special choral anthems sung by the choir.

Christ is risen!

He is risen indeed!

Chalice

Pastor Norman Dalton speaks from the Bible about experiencing the joy of Jesus Christ in a post-modern, sometimes hostile, and always challenging world.

An informal celebration at 8:30 am in Fox Chapel is a blend of contemporary, upbeat worship songs and favorite hymns, accompanied by acoustical instruments. Prayers include requests from the people in the congregation.

A traditional worship service at 10:30 am in the sanctuary features our recently renovated pipe organ, traditional hymns, a volunteer choir, and professional soloists.

The Lord's Supper (communion) is celebrated the first Sunday of each month at both services. "This is the Lord's table: All who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are invited to share the feast which he has prepared."

Children are always welcome in worship. A nursery is provided all morning in the education building.

Personal hearing systems and large print bulletins are available from any usher.

The 7:00 pm Brazilian Presbyterian Church service is in Portuguese, with English translation available. The service features contemporary music with an inspirational band and singers.
