Fun fact: 

Why do we hide eggs on Easter?

The egg hunt became an Easter tradition in 16th-century Germany. Martin Luther held egg hunts at the church for his congregation, where the women and children would look for eggs that the men hid around the property. This practice is symbolic of the women who discovered that the tomb was empty after the resurrection.

UPDATED Covid Protocols as of April 1 (in part):

 

MASKING Masks are no longer required for any liturgies, coffee hour or any other in-building gathering at this time, though anyone who needs to wear a mask should do so.

PASSING THE PEACEWe will continue to use touch-free greetings.

 

OFFERING: We will continue to use the plates at the front of the church. There will be no more “passing of the plate” at the offering.  

 

HANDOUTS: We will continue to use disposable booklets for all liturgies.

 

COFFEE HOUR Coffee Hour is re-instated as it was before the pandemic.

 

ONLINE WORSHIP: Online worship through Livestream will continue ONLY for Sunday morning and Wednesday Masses. All other liturgies will be in-person only. We will soon be moving the camera and its computer out of the aisle and into a less visible space.

 

IN-PERSON WORSHIP: We encourage all parishioners who are able to begin attending our liturgies in person.

 

VACCINATIONS If you have not been vaccinated and you are able, please get vaccinated very soon.
