Maundy Thursday Table & Tenebrae Service • April 1

Silent Prayer •Good Friday • April 2
in the Sanctuary, 10 am to 2 pm
Knollwood’s Sanctuary will be open midday on Good Friday for worshippers to come inside, find a favorite pew, and spend time in quiet and stillness. Ministers will greet you in the Narthex and provide a worship order for individual silent prayer and contemplation of the cross. Drop in at your convenience. All are asked to wear masks and practice social distancing.
As the Easter Services at Knollwood will be held outdoors, individual lily plants will not be offered. This year, we will be flowering a newly designed and crafted Easter Cross, made especially for this year’s Easter Day services. Lilies will be included in the adornment of the Cross.
You are invited to remember or honor family and friends with a $20 gift/donation to Knollwood’s Easter Flower Fund. Your gift will contribute to the joyful flowering of the Cross, and your loved ones will be acknowledged in the Easter worship order. You may donate online at: https://tinyurl.com/5buvp8zz, or complete the form below and send it to the church office with payment by Monday, March 29
Worshippers are also invited to bring fresh-cut flowers to place on the cross outside the sanctuary on Easter morning to celebrate Christ’s resurrection.
