Lenten Banner The banner hanging in the front of the sanctuary represents the wilderness, reminding us of the forty days that Jesus spent there, fasting and being tempted by the devil. The palms are for Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And the purple, the color of royalty is a reference to Christ the King. The variety of purples and the black lettering remind us of the pain, suffering and passion that we remember as we pray during this season. Bordering the banner is the color of white that represents the anticipation of the Easter season. Sacrament of Baptism The Sacrament of Baptism will be administered to Grayson Russell Sanderson who was born on November 15, 2017 in Rutland, Vermont. He is the son of Brett Allen Sanderson and Jamie Williams Sanderson. The godparents are Russell and Karly Cararra. Easter Flowers Flowers really contribute to the beauty and sacredness of our Church on Easter Sunday. Donations for Easter Flowers can be given to Anne Oakes. If the donation is in memory or in honor of individuals, please include a written notation of how you wish it to appear in the Easter bulletin on April 1. All are encouraged to help to decorate our Church as we celebrate and glorify our Risen Lord.
