Growing Life Together with God

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church
LinX Email for March 22, 2023
Sunday, March 26, 2023: Alive!

Sunday, March 26, 2023: Alive!

Rev. Fiona

The story of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary is a powerful event where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead  - showing his own emotion and love for his earthly brother.  A ‘go big or go home’ moment in Jesus’ ministry.

Come join us during Holy Week as we walk the way of the Cross and experience once again the new life of Easter.

Come join us during Holy Week as we walk the way of the Cross and experience once again the new life of Easter.

We will offer three services during Holy Week.
Maundy Thursday Communion service - 7:00 pm
Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper. The night before he was crucified, Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples and showed what humble, servant-focused love looks like.
Good Friday - 10:00 am
This service features Scriptures and dramatic monologues that will invite us to experience the impact of Jesus’ suffering and death.
Easter Sunday - 10:00 am
Join us for a joyful Easter service, with a special format of Lessons and Carols. "Carols are not just for Christmas. They connect us with a rich tradition of music that allows us to experience Easter in a new way." 
Guest Musicians: Andrew Leitch, Heather Wootton, Tayte Mitchell, Laura Brandt
