Palm Sunday featured a celebration service of palms, songs, and activities for children.  An evening hymn-sing included the “Songs of the Cross”.  On Wednesday we viewed the passion narratives from the Gospel of John movie.  On Good Friday, our choir presented a contemplative service with readings, prayers, and visual images of Christ’s journey from Gethsemane to Golgotha.  Easter Sunday featured a triumphant service of praise songs, choir, and kids’ activities.  The church was filled with family, friends, and guests.  Several responded to a salvation message.
