Wow! What a week!! We had an amazing Holy Week 2023 at Troy First. Starting with Palm Sunday and a Taizé Service on Sunday, a the prayer labyrinth on Monday and Tuesday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday service and of course, ending with 2 services on Easter Sunday. Thanks to everyone who joined us for worship services and more! What a way to remember and celebrate the Death and Resurrection of our Savior! At our Maundy Thursday Service, we dined together at the Lord's Table as Jesus did in the Upper Room with the disciples and others during the Last Supper. For our Good Friday Service, we heard the Seven Last Words of Jesus and featured eight different Pastors from all around metro Detroit, all the way to Kentucky! How powerful! On Easter Sunday, we started with a true SUNRISE service at 7am in the Memorial Garden, featuring bagpipes. Wow. It was beautiful. And last, but not least, we had our 10am Resurrection Service, complete with our butterfly, handbell choir, chancel choir, trumpets and more! It was truly a day to remember!! He is Risen! He is Risen, indeed!

On Palm Sunday we gathered after Worship for an incredible brunch! We had over 120 folks join us to eat a beautiful spread of breakfast and lunch foods, and of course desserts! It was the perfect way to kick off Holy Week as a church family. Thank you to all the people who helped make it possible including: the staff for planning & cooking, a group from United Women in Faith for decorating the CLC & tables and Men's Breakfast (plus a few) for cleaning up! It was a team effort all around and is sure to be remembered for a long time!
