Being a Welcoming Church during Holy Week
We need your help with parking, and with
welcoming visitors
Many plans are being made now for how we can be a
welcoming congregation during Holy Week, and there are specific things you can
do to help.
Once again this year,
we are asking any and all able-bodied members to park on the "TXU easement" at
the end of the south parking lot. Our Trustee committee, and Chuck Cummings,
will have the grass cut, and position volunteers to assist you that morning. We
are also asking folks to consider this on Palm Sunday too. Although the crowd
will not be as large as Easter Sunday, if a few folks park on the easement this
day, it will insure plenty of parking for
all.
(This is the very end of the large
parking lot on the south side of the
building...)
Our goal is to have open
and accessible parking in our main lot, so that visitors and latecomers will
easily be able to enter our building and experience Easter with
us.
In other Easter planning, several
of our commissions have been working together to invite people to Holy Week
services. Perhaps you have noticed the invitational signs that currently line
Preston Road? That's just one of many new ideas aimed at attracting people to
our church during Holy Week. New temporary directional signs should also be up
for Holy Week too. And many thanks to Travis Jordan, for creating the new
"tri-fold" template for our weekly worship
guide.
Many thanks to the Stewardship,
Communications, Membership, Worship, and Trustee groups --and to all our staff
and volunteers-- for all the hard and coordinated planning they are giving to
Holy Week this year. A great many people are busily working behind the scenes
to make the culmination of season special.
