Triduum Sign-Ups
Many people are needed to help make our Triduum services -
Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil - prayerful and
meaningful. Please consider helping out as Lectors, Extraordi-
nary Ministers of Holy Communion, or in other areas needing
help. Sign-up sheets are next to the large cross in the
atrium. Thank you!
Please Help Make The Worship Space Beautiful for Easter
Donations of Easter flowers will be greatly appreciated to help
decorate the Holy Spirit Chapel, the Blessed Sacrament Chapel,
and the Atrium for Easter. Please consider buying an Easter Lily
(or tow, or more, or any other kind of flower!!!) as a memorial
for a deceased loved one and dropping it off at the UCC during
Holy Week. We will list the names of those you would like
remembered in this way in the bulletin. As always, we are
grateful for your generosity.
