Please join us for the Sunday of the Resurrection.
In the procession today you will see an Alleluia banner made by the children of St. James’ Sunday School. Alleluia is a joyful shout that means “Praise God!” Our Alleluias have been “buried” through the season of Lent, and they return on this joyful Easter Day!
There will be an Easter Egg Hunt with the Easter Bunny on the front lawn after the service! For teens/youth, there are two large eggs, one gold, one silver, hidden in the graveyard behind the church with special prizes. Happy hunting!
Please join us for a festive Coffee Hour in our Parish Hall right after the service.
