Letter from the Rector: EASTER & HOLY WEEK 2024



Dear siblings in Christ,


Holy Week and Easter are just around the corner, and I warmly invite you to experience them with us at Church of Our Saviour. Our ritual remembrance of Christ’s arrest, crucifixion, death, and resurrection will be all the better if you choose to spend your time among us in worship. To that end, I share with you our Holy Week and Easter schedule. Please spread our Easter and Holy Week schedule near and far!

Each year, Church of Our Saviour requests donations at Christmas and Easter for additional music unique to the season. This year, I ask the same as we plan for live music during all of the Easter services.

While I hope to also tell you in person, let me be the first to wish you a Happy Easter. Alleluia! Christ Is Risen!


Faithfully,




Jeff+
