Last Chance to Sign Up for Our Third Annual CHRISTIAN SEDER Maundy Thursday, April 5, 6:00 pm On Maundy Thursday, April 5, beginning at 6 pm, we will enjoy a special Christian Seder meal followed by a Communion Service at 7:30 pm. The Seder (which means "order," because of the fixed order of the meal) will offer a decidedly Christian twist to the traditional meal celebrated at Passover, the Jewish festival which commemorates the Hebrews' liberation from Egyptian bondage. It was a Passover meal that Jesus was celebrating with his disciples at the Last Supper, which Maundy Thursday memorializes. If you plan to come, call the Church Office at 781-344-2371 no later than Tuesday, April 3. We ask that each family bring a potluck dish to share. MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICE APRIL 5 AT 7:30 PM Join us at our Maundy Thursday Service, April 5 beginning at 7:30 pm, when we will share communion and listen to the passion story through the voices of the people who were there. GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 6 SANCTUARY OPEN 12 NOON TO 3 PM On Good Friday, April 6, our sanctuary will be open from 12 noon to 3 pm (the period of time darkness covered the land as Jesus hung on the cross) for private prayer and meditation. Please feel free to join us for part of the time or for the full three hours.   Youth-led GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE April 6 @ 7:00 pm Our Faith-4-Life Youth Group will lead a contemporary, Good Friday service on April 6 at 7 pm that we hope will be an unforgettable experience for our whole congregation.
