The Great Fifty Days of Easter

“That Easter Day with joy was bright…” two thousand years ago and this year too! Lent and Holy Week prepared us well, and Easter Day was just glorious! We began with a Eucharist on Easter Eve at 5:00, then the 8:00 Sunday Eucharist, the Easter egg hunt and the 11:00 Eucharist with beautiful music! And now we continue to celebrate for seven, until the Day of Pentecost.

Our calendar for the Easter Season looks like this:

Saturdays

5:00 pm  Holy Eucharist in the Chapel

Sundays

8:00 am  Holy Eucharist in the Chapel
11:00 am  Choral Eucharist in the Church

May 27 The Day of Pentecost

Regular services and Pentecost Picnic following the 11:00 Eucharist!

Please join us for any or all these services, classes and fellowship. In Bible study we are reading the Gospel of Mark, which is the book of designated Gospel lessons for this year. On Wednesday nights we chose a new video series, “Saving Jesus,” with discussion and supper. Check Crossings for details of the series and our Wednesday night meetings. Finally, the Pentecost Picnic is our celebratation to welcome the Holy Spirit, end the school year and share a meal before beginning summer. Our Holy Cross Grillers cook bratwurst on the grill, and we enjoy the breezes of our grounds. Bill Bush makes the day perfect with music!

So the Easter Season promises to be busy and just as wonderful as its beginning. Come share its joy with us!
