Three Things: Worship Team

about this image of Jesus.

The Worship Team met on Sunday February 3 right after, well, right after worship! We met to discuss worship plans for the Season of Lent through Easter Sunday. Here are the "three things you should know" from that meeting:

1. Everything starts early this year!
   Easter comes early this year (March 31) which means everything that comes before Easter gets bumped up in the calendar too. So this year Ash Wednesday will be February 13 (yes, the day before Valentine's Day!), the first Sunday in Lent is February 17, Palm Sunday is March 24, and Maundy Thursday is March 28.
   
   
2. Mark your calendars!
   We have special worship services planned for Ash Wednesday (February 13 at 7PM) and Maundy Thursday (March 28 at 7PM) and we are planning on having the Sanctuary open for prayers and meditation on the morning of Good Friday (March 29, times TBD). We will have a special palm processional on Palm Sunday (complete with new music!) and we'll have brass on Easter Sunday morning!
   
   
3. Henry was on the same page.
   As many of you know my wife was out of town last week attending her denomination's national clergy gathering. So Henry was hanging out in my office while I was meeting with the Worship Team. I left him with my iPad so that he could play games and watch movies and generally stay out of trouble. Much to my surprise Henry used the Soundrop App (which isn't even a drawing app, per se) to create the lovely, minimalist picture of Jesus that you see at the top of this post. Thanks Henry!
