April 21, 2019 Easter -
Many people welcomed
Easter morning, probably the most important feast day of the Christian calendar, on April 21.
The flowers on the altar were lovely! Thank you so much to everyone who ordered them: they enhanced the worship
service with their beauty and fragrance.
On Maundy Thursday, also called Holy Thursday, we had a service of Tenebrae commemorating the last three days of Jesus' life, in the church house before feasting on clam chowder, bread, and crackers, culminating in celebrating Holy Communion. -

March 23 Sunday School spaghetti supper -
The Sunday School presented a fantastic pasta dinner on March 23 - along with spaghetti, lasagna was offered, as well as
a salad bar and rolls. A beverage came with the dinner, which was followed by a brownie sundae. Delicious!
Many people came out to eat, who donated to the Sunday School. The money will go toward Church World Service Kits,
as well as to children’s charities
