Easter Day

Plan to take part in worship for The Resurrection of Our Lord: Easter Day as part of the Cloverdale United Church, celebrating Christ's victory over death and God's victory of new life.  Grand, majestic, and expressive... our 10:30 am worship service will be a joyful worship celebration for Easter Day featuring glorious music, scripture and sermon, and the Resurrection Feast at Christ's Table.

The celebrations begin earlier in the morning with our Easter Egg Hunt on the church grounds, starting at 9:45 am.  (Apologies for those of you participating online; the egg hunt will be an in-person-only event.)  During the egg hunt, there will be coffee and light Easter breakfast snacks available for all of our community, as we gather in fellowship and joy.  Our Easter Cross will be set up outside for "flowering" as you arrive, as well.

Please note that the wearing of masks continues to be required during worship services for in-person worshippers.

Preparing for Holy Communion (online worshippers):  This Sunday in worship, we will share together in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, Holy Communion. For those participating in worship online, before the time of the service you will want to prepare some bread: a slice, a small loaf, even a cracker if that's what you have on hand... any kind of bread... and also a cup or cups of juice or wine: perhaps grape juice or wine if you have it... or whatever it is you have available, whether with or without alcohol.  Set these elements in the living room or kitchen or wherever it is that you will experience online worship with our community of faith. Perhaps you want to put them on a lovely cloth or fabric that reminds you of a special time or a person deeply connected with you in the communion of saints. Perhaps you will light a candle or place beside the bread and cup a flower or plant or a photograph of someone you wish to bring into the circle of faith.
