ORUCC Youth 3/24
Hello friends,
This coming Sunday is the start of Holy Week as we celebrate Palm Sunday. There will be no regular youth programming at 9:00 a.m. TRU Function is playing in worship with practice starting at 8:30 a.m. There will be an intergenerational coloring opportunity in Friendship Hall beginning at 9:00 a.m. with Holy Week activities available. The entire congregation will meet to process with palms into the worship hall a few minutes before 10:00 a.m.
During Holy Week, some of you may have signed up for Maundy Thursday dinner groups 3/28. At 7:00 p.m. on 3/29, all are welcome to attend the Good Friday Tenebrae service. Our confirmation group is exploring Holy Week with a self-study, which I have attached to this email in case anyone else would like to participate as well.
On Easter Sunday 3/31, there are several opportunities:
- 6:30 a.m. Sunrise Service
- Brunch (immediately following sunrise service)
- 10:00 a.m. Easter Worship
- Kids' Easter Egg Hunt (immediately following worship service)
*I need some help setting up the Easter egg hunt! Any youth who are available, please let me know!*
For those who are heading out for Spring Break next week, safe travels!
Grace and peace,
Kate
