Join us at 6:30 pm on Maundy Thursday for a feast, as we remember Jesus’ last supper. There will be a roast lamb dinner, some readings of scripture, a service of the Lord’s Supper and a voluntary foot washing for those who are interested.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35

9:00 am on Good Friday will be a solemn service of scripture, song & reflection as we ponder anew the crucifixion and death of Christ, the sacrificial lamb of God.

They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!” In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?)
Mark 15:27-34

Sunday will be a combined 10 am celebration service as we rejoice in Christ's resurrection and triumph over death. This is an all-age service with lots for children and adults alike. Stick around afterwards for morning tea and hot-cross buns. ______________________________________________

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you”.
Mark 16:4-7
