Palm Sunday palms and Holy Week Services
It's hard to believe that we are on the verge of Holy Week. We'll be celebrating Palm Sunday (Jesus' triumphal entry in Jerusalem) this weekend. Plans are in the works for our online Maundy Thursday service, a Good Friday devotional and our "simple Sunrise Easter service."
We will be waving palm branches in the sanctuary on Sunday. If you would like one for yourself...we are leaving a box of palms inside the office door at the church. Feel free to come help yourself.
OR
Feel free to make your own palm branches using the simple guidelines below. There is a link within the link to download the template for your own palm fronds!
Finance Note
Thank you, Prospect, for your faithful financial giving over the past two weekends! We have received several large contributions that have been a huge blessing. We are working hard to reduce our typical monthly expenses (having temporarily released our custodians to work at a critical healthcare facility in Peoria, turning off the boiler/chiller for the original building, etc.). Our typically weekly "need" (once monthly automated withdrawals are received) is roughly $6500. We know that our community is facing a tough economic reality and greatly appreciate your faithfulness to God's mission through Prospect.
Those of you who have been members at Prospect for many years will remember that we typically receive our "Parade of Palms" offering for missions this weekend. We will reschedule that special offering for a later weekend.
If you would like to sign up for automatic withdraw, a form is attached below.
TRUSTEE NOTE:

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY TO GLENN!!!
