Easter Sunday Service & Flowering of the Cross

Sunday, April 5, 11:00am in the Sanctuary

On Easter Sunday we will be embracing the tradition of “flowering the cross.” We observed this tradition last year and it was deeply meaningful. This is a tradition that represents the transition from Good Friday and Jesus’ death at the hands of empire to the liberative love of resurrection in the garden on Easter Sunday. At the beginning of the service, all will be invited to come forward and add a flower to a bare wooden cross in a symbolic gesture of life-affirming love and flourishing. The church will provide some stems, or you are welcome to bring a flower from your home to contribute.
