In today’s gospel a curious Pharisee visits Jesus at night. He wants to learn more from this teacher, but he doesn’t want his friends to know he finds this man fascinating. Jesus know his motivation, but is still more than willing to graciously engage in conversation.

In today’s gospel Jesus heals a man born blind. You would think people would find that amazing and rejoice alongside of the man, but instead the healing provokes a hostile reaction.

Sunday, March 22: Worship
Today one of Jesus’ best friends die. The gospel reading has the shortest verse in the Bible, “Jesus wept.” Lazarus has been in the tomb for four days when Jesus finally shows up and raises him from the dead. What does that tell you? Even when things look utterly hopeless, there is still hope?
Preacher: Pastor Paula

Sunday, March 29: Palm Sunday/Passion Sunday Worship with Holy Communion
We go through the story of Holy Week from the procession into Jerusalem on Sunday through Jesus’ death on the cross. Easter is not Easter if you do not hear the whole story. At the 9:15 a.m. Worship Lite Service the young people will help us tell the story from start to finish beginning with a procession of decorated wagons, leading the congregation in one of my favorite songs, “He’ll be Riding on a Donkey When He Comes”, our 3 year olds receiving their first Bibles and the 2nd Graders sharing the story of Good Friday with the help of the congregation, using the cross as well as the rope, robe, nails, dice, sponge and crown of thorns.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Holy Week Worship Schedule:
Maundy Thursday, April 2 – Worship with Holy Communion at 6:30 p.m.
Join Jesus and his disciples in the Upper Room and share the Passover meal for the last time. 4th Graders and their parents will be there to celebrate their completion of First Communion Instruction. The bread used that night will be bread they baked the say before in the church kitchen.
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Special Music: Chancel Choir
Good Friday, April 3 – Worship at Noon and 6:30 p.m.
It has become a tradition at Christ Lutheran to use a Tenebrae service entitled, “The Way of Sorrows,” on Good Friday. Through music, scripture readings and psalms the story of Jesus’ crucifixion is told. They all help us to slow us down and reflect upon the events of the day.
Readers: Jen Hoffman and Pastor Paula
Special Music: Chancel Choir and Soloists
Easter Sunday, April 5 – Worship with Holy Communion at 8:00 and 9:15 a.m.
It never gets old. For 2000 years Christians have gathered on Easter Sunday to announce once again the good news that “Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed!”
Preacher: Pastor Paula
Special Music: Chancel Choir and First Class Ringers
