We will bless our baskets before we begin.
We will begin with the children age 4 and under. The older children will be allowed to follow a few minutes behind the youngest ones.
Rice Bowls
Children are reminded to return their Lenten Rice Bowls to church. The containers to collect Rice Bowls will be in the Gathering Space this weekend through Easter Sunday. Thank you for your generosity!
