I know not where the road will lead I follow day by day, Or where it ends: I only know I walk the King’s highway. I know not if the way is long, and no one
else can say: But rough or smooth, up hill or down, I walk the King’s highway. And some I love have reached the end, but some with me may stay, Their faith and hope still guiding me, I walk the King’s highway.

Thursday dinners in members’ homes (you can sign up outside Fifield Hall) and to the Tennebrae Service of light and darkness on Good Friday evening. The preachers for Holy Week are listed below, and we hope you will invite your friends and family members to be with us. Finally and triumphantly on Easter Day, April 8, we will celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, focusing on the text from Luke 24:1-35 and the Road to Emmaus painting by Rembrandt. So please join us this coming week as we worship God and raise up our voices with the glad and glorious affirmation - “The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia and Amen!”
Faithfully yours,
George B. Wirth
s we take our final steps on the road toward Easter Day, these words remind us where we have traveled this Lenten season and who we are as fellow pilgrims. The journey has been long, but the destination is now in sight. As we make our way toward Holy Week, let us prepare our hearts and homes to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ! The Palm/Passion Sunday sermon is entitled “Seeking the Face of Jesus – Jesus Enters Jerusalem” Come join us for our worship celebration! I also invite you to the Holy Week services at 12 noon every day, to the Maundy
