Palm Sunday – April 13, 2014
Our hope is that we will have walked enough steps as a congregation that we will actually have arrived in Jerusalem by this Sunday! Michelle and Kathy, with the involvement of the youth and Sunday School, will both show (with props and video clips) & tell the whole of the Easter Story. Even though this is a story that is very familiar to most of us, our hope is to bring it to life in a new way using some video clips to connect it ever more closely with our reality here in the City of Regina.
Maundy Thursday – April 17, 2014: 6 – 8 p.m.
The scripture tells us that on the night before he was crucified, Jesus gathered with his friends and disciples in the Upper Room for the Last Supper. We are truly hoping that this is not our Last Supper together! However, I believe that the Last Supper was very much about gaining strength from the gathered community by sharing in a meal that nourished both body and soul. We invite you to join us for a pot-luck supper (organized by Wendy Wushke and Peg Atymichuk) at 6:00. As we share in a meal together, our expectation is that we will get to know the others at our table a little better because there will be more time for conversation than we normally have on a Sunday morning. Following the meal, we will have communion as a way to close off our evening.
Good Friday Service – 10:30 a.m.
A service including music with our choir and readings for reflection, followed by Hot Cross Buns and coffee.
Sunday, April 20th: Easter Morning Sunrise service: 5:30 AM!
Michelle McConkey is very excited that we do a Sunrise Service here at Sunset United! She is going to join the team of Vikki May and Lana Orban (which likely means the Orban family!). We will meet here at the church around a fire bowl, we will sing, and we will discover ways to greet the new day in style! And then we will come into the church for breakfast together. I have heard a rumor of cinnamon buns appearing…if you have something that you would like to bring for this potluck breakfast, that would be great!
Sunday, April 20th: Easter Morning Service – 10:30 a.m.
Come and celebrate with us – we made it through the deep freeze of January through March and the sun is getting stronger every day. Out of death, God brings new life! We are a people where Hope springs eternal – so come - let’s let the Hallelujah’s ring out!! Michelle will have a creative activity for any children who are here for this service.
