Church of the Redeemer

The publishers at Pastoral Planning have created a "really nifty online guide"
to help us have a great Holy Week experience in our homes. 
Click on the image above to access materials for Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter,
and then click on the tabs for the different days at the top of the page.
Each day includes a family worship service, including videos and music, and additional activities. 
Be sure to check them out ahead of time so you can plan what to use.

As those who believe in a gracious and loving God, we do not need to panic but rather look with faith to our source of hope and peace. Please join us in praying for:
          * God’s mercy and protection during this time
          * Wisdom as we make decisions for the church community
          * Ourselves as we seek to live by faith, not fear; as we respond out of courage and love; and as we avoid hysteria and panic.
