THE 5TH SUNDAY IN LENT

26 March 2023 Welcome!

We extend a warm welcome to our guests, and invite you to sign the guest book at the back of the sanctuary. Everyone is invited to remain for coffee and fellowship, downstairs in the Church Hall, following the service. We thank Lalaine Buan for hosting today.

The Greeter this morning is Brian Yeo.

The Readers today are Bruce and Lisa Sneesby.

Today we celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Everyone who has been baptized in any denomination of the Christian church is invited to participate in the Communion, including children. The Communion bread is gluten-free. Once again, we will serve the bread and juice the way we used to do, before the pandemic broke out. It’s our custom here at First Church to wait until everyone has been served, so that we all consume first the bread, and then the grape juice, together. Please place your used Communion glasses into the hymnbook rack in your pew, and they will be collected following the service.

This Week in First Church:

  • Tuesday, 7:00 p.m. – Bible Study – by Zoom

Coming Up:

  • Sunday, 2 April – Palm Sunday
  • Thursday, 6 April – Maundy Thursday service and pot-luck supper
