Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This is the last Sunday before we enter into the solemnities of Holy Week. And the Gospel gives us a hint of things to come. Expanding on that hint, I’m attaching a “Field Guide to Holy Week”, which lists the services and gives some ideas of what to expect. Please take a look at put as many of these services on your calendar as possible. Easter is ever so much more meaningful when we accompany Jesus through the last days of his life, rather than hop-scotching from Palm Sunday to Easter.
Share this with friends and family and invite them to join in, in person or online.
A couple of announcements: Sunday (April 3) is the last day to bring in shampoo for our contribution to The Angel Network. Scrip orders are also due to Janice.
Fr. Dick Ditterline has asked us to invite you to a Fundraiser for Trinity Bethlehem’s Soup Kitchen, at Neshaminy Valley Theater, Neshaminy High School, Langhorn. They are putting on the show “Annie“. It opens April 2nd 3p.m., and then runs on April 3rd 3p.m and 8 p.m. and April 8th, 9th and closing April 10th (please check with Fr. Dick on times). Contact Fr. Dick Ditterline at 610-838-8206 for more information or to purchase tickets in advance. A great time for a great cause!
