As we enter this last full week of Lent, we come to our last mid week Lenten Services on Wednesday with worship at 11am and 7pm, soup and salad lunch following and soup and salad supper preceding at 6pm. Also, this Wednesday at 5:30 the “12 disciples” will be gathering to prepare for this year’s Maundy Thursday service, and following worship the Outreach Team will be meeting at 7:45pm. So, a full Wednesday ahead of us.
This coming weekend is Palm Sunday. All children at worship will be asked to join in the procession with palms at the beginning of worship as we remember Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem and begin Holy Week. Also, at the Saturday service and the 8:30 Sunday service, a number of our young people will be celebrating their First Communion. So, this will be a special day in many ways.
Looking ahead, our Holy Week worship schedule is as follows: Maundy Thursday 7pm, Good Friday 7pm, there will be no worship service on Holy Saturday, April 7, but at 10am there will be an Easter Egg Hunt for our children and their families. Always lots of fun and activities for the kids. And beginning about 9am the Lutheran Men in Mission and members of the Youth Group will be gathering to set up for our Easter Pancake Breakfast and for the Easter Sunrise Service. If you can join us for this, please come on by. Many hands make light work!
Then on Easter Sunday our Sunrise Service is at 7am in the Memorial Garden followed by Easter services in the church at 8:30 and 11am. Our Easter Pancake Breakfast runs from 8am til about 10:30am. A free will offering is received which helps send our kids to camp.
Right after Easter we will be offering 3 gatherings for people who are interested in becoming members of Our Savior or just to learn more about Our Savior. These gatherings will be on Wednesday April 11 at 6:30, Sunday April 15 at 9:45 during the Sunday School hour and Wednesday April 18 at 6:30pm.
Also, right after Easter the Women of the ELCA will have their annual luncheon at the Half Hour Inn at Vero Beach High School at 11:30 on Thursday April 12.
Finally, last Saturday our worshippers received the gift of fresh home grown eggs from Jean Borchers. If you enjoyed the eggs, you can call Jean at 567-4644 and she can bring more in at a reasonable price. Also, if you have egg cartons, please bring them to the church and she can put them to use.
