Seder for Maundy Thursday

This year Christ Church will again commemorate Maundy Thursday, April 5, by hosting a Passover Seder Meal in the Fellowship Hall at 6:30 p.m., followed by a brief Tenebrae worship service in the Sanctuary. Passover is the oldest and most important religious festival in Judaism, commemorating God’s deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt and the creation of the Israelite people. The Seder is a re-telling of the deliverance story utilizing ritual and symbolism throughout the course of the meal.

The Seder is an inter-generational family event; children of all ages are welcome and encouraged to attend and participate. To facilitate the organization of the Seder meal, please let us know that you are planning to attend by contacting the church office with your name and the number of people attending. Please also let us know if you are interested in helping prepare the meal, or would simply like to contribute ingredients or groceries.

Easter Egg Hunt

The annual Christ Church Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, April 7 (the day before Easter Sunday) from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Children ages 1-12 are invited to hunt Easter eggs, and older children are encouraged to help hide eggs and aid the younger ones in the hunt. Children should bring their own Easter baskets for the hunt (and extra baskets to share, if you have them).

Adults in the congregation can help out by donating hollow plastic Easter eggs and treats with which to fill them (individually wrapped candy, small toys, stickers, etc.) Please bring your Easter eggs and treats THIS SUNDAY (April 1) and drop them off in the church Narthex.

Plan now to join us on April 7 at 10:30 a.m. for games, snacks, and fun at the annual Easter Egg Hunt!
