Easter, and Holy Week leading up to it, is the main in-parish focus this month.
On Palm Sunday look for a Palm Parade at both worship services. At LeRoy the children and Pastor Dale will have time to rehearse between breakfast and church. Also on Palm Sunday in Humeston, we will enjoy special song from one of our youth. And another will be baptized and join the church. Later in the month we will have one of our families joining with the children being baptized.
Holy Week services will include the Communion Service on Maundy (Mandate) Thursday at 7pm in LeRoy and the Good Friday Service at 7pm in Humeston.
Easter Sunrise Service won’t really be at sunrise, but at 7am in Humeston, followed by pancake and sausage breakfast provided by the Helping Hands. Easter Services of Celebration will be at the normal worship hours – 9:00 in LeRoy, 10:30 in Humeston. Special offerings to help meet the needs of regions and countries effected by natural disasters will be received at both services.
Potluck News: We are combining the April and May potluck after-church dinners and having only one. It will be on April 26th in Humeston at noon.
