Holy Week 2026

Yesterday began our celebration of Holy Week with our remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It was a good day of worship with a very nice crowd and then a good time of fellowship following with a potluck meal.

Remember the events that are coming up this week. Our Maundy Thursday service will be held in the Fellowship Hall at 7pm We will be celebrating communion as a part of this service. Friday, we will be having our normal coffee time in the Fellowship Hall from 8:30 to 10:30 or so. Then Friday at 7pm, the Presbyterian Church is holding a Good Friday service in their building. Sunday morning at 6:30am, there will be a sunrise service in the graveyard in Danvers with a walk a few songs and some coffee and rolls.

Next Sunday we will not have Sunday School. Instead, at 9am we will be sharing a breakfast together, then at 10:10am we will have our Easter worship service. We’ll be observing the Lord’s Supper during this service as well. Then there will be no fellowship time following the service.

I hope to see you at some of those service and make sure to invite a friend or two along. It’s a great time of the year for inviting someone to a worship service.

In the midst of all of the busy-ness that accompanies this season, let’s not forget that it is Jesus offering himself up for us that is why we mark this time. We remember Jesus’ death because of which we can experience peace with God, and we also remember his resurrection which offers us the hope of eternal life.

I hope you experience a meaningful time as we remember Jesus’ actions for us all.

God bless, Brian
