We’re celebrating Holy Week starting tomorrow with our Holy Thursday Dinner at 6:30pm, then our Good Friday Service at 7pm, finally it all culminates on Sunday…

⛪️ WORSHIP:
Join us for an absolutely joyful service as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! We’ll set the celebratory Easter mood in our Sunday service with music, prayer, preaching, and of course, dancing as we celebrate Communion while a New Orleans style brass jazz band fills up our 100 year old Sanctuary.

🎉 PARADE AT NOON:
At the end of the service, the Euphoria Brass Band will lead us in an Easter celebration parade around the block that ends in the park across the street!

🎷 🍽️ 🎺 PICNIC AT 12:15 PM
Join us immediately after for a picnic in the park, right across the street from church! We’ll provide the Easter hams and drinks, and invite you to bring a side or dessert to share. All are welcome to attend (even if you don’t bring something). There will be shade canopies, tables and chairs, and a new picnic seating area so bring your blankets and beach chairs if you want! Plus, we’ll get to enjoy a continued performance with Euphoria Brass Band – dancing is sure to continue! We will also have an egg hunt for the kids!

6pm this Sunday is our Blue Christmas Service

Some of us are entering the Christmas season and though we are surrounded by holiday cheer, we’re not feeling particularly cheerful. Whether you’ve lost someone this year and it’ll be your first Christmas without them, or you’re grieving the state of the world right now, this service is for you. Join us for a time of lament, contemplation, and comfort, as we gather to weather this season together.

🏳️‍⚧️ 🕯️ Transgender Day of Remembrance calls on us to lament our trans and non-binary siblings whose lives have been unjustly taken from us this year, including all those whose deaths have not been reported, and with special attention to the disproportionate deaths of Black trans women. At least 58 people have passed away this year, 27 of whom were lost to violence, 21 lost to su***de, and 8 have been lost to natural causes. Though we honor these 58 people, we recognize that the true number may be higher, as many incidents go unreported.

Our Christian tradition calls us to remembrance and solidarity with the oppressed. We remember the lives of our trans and non-binary ancestors, honoring them by carrying them with us, learning from them, and being strengthened by their memories. We are called to be in solidarity with our trans and non-binary siblings who are being targeted, persecuted, and used as political pawns. We, as Christians, must stand in the way of those aiming to dehumanize our siblings, to give of ourselves so that our gender variant family may find rest and healing, and to hold those spewing and enacting hate accountable. This has been and will continue to be our task, so that all of God’s beautiful and diverse creation might flourish.

Let us continue to cultivate a world worthy of everyone, in concert with the guidance and determination of our trans and non-binary siblings leading us forward.
