Easter Worship Services (and an Easter Egg Hunt)

Here’s some news about our upcoming worship services – and an Easter Egg Hunt – at Capilano United.

This coming Sunday, April 5, 10:30AM
Palm Sunday.

We’ll begin with a palm parade in church, and then the children will present a re-enactment of Jesus’ last supper with his followers.

There will be no Sunday School this day.

It will also be Kristi Rapoza’s last Sunday with us as she finishes her studies and heads into final exams and summer employment.

Good Friday, April 10, 10:00AM
at Saint David’s United Church, Taylor Way at the Upper Levels Highway

Once again we will join with Saint David’s for this solemn remembrance of Jesus’ crucifixion.

Easter Sunday, 10:30AM

A special service celebrating Jesus’ resurrection – affirming God’s, “Yes!” to life against the powers of pain and death.

Easter Egg Hunt
Saturday, April 11, 10:00AM

Everyone zero to 5 years old is invited to Capilano United’s Easter Egg Hunt.

It will be held in the playground beside the Church.

Admission is a donation of a non-perishable food item.

The Last Week of Jesus' Life

Last Sunday, March 1, we began a worship series at Capilano United focusing day by day on the last week of Jesus’ life.

March 1 began with his last Sunday – the day we call Palm Sunday.

This coming Sunday will continue with his last Monday; March 15 with Tuesday; and so on up to Easter Sunday, April 12th.

I have also be meeting with the children on Wednesdays after school to help prepare a re-enactment of Thursday, which is the day Jesus ate his last supper with his followers. The kids are a great group to meet with. They are learning a lot and bring great energy and enthusiasm for the project.

As I have been preparing for this series, I have discovered that taking a closer, day by day, look at the last week of Jesus’ life has given me some helpful new ways of understanding his death – and hence of his resurrection. This is a powerful and troubling story that touches on our own struggles for finding hopes that we can trust without hesitation; hopes that are truly trustworthy and can guide us through all of our changing circumstances. You can read my notes on each day by clicking here.

I hope you’ll be able to join us for worship, Sundays at 10:30.

Particularly on April 5 for the children’s presentation, and on Easter Sunday, April 12.
