On this night we gather with Jesus and his disciples at the table of the Last Supper and remember Jesus’ greatest commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you.”

Palm Sunday
2018-03-25 10:00 - 11:00 | Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church, 57 Brant Ave, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
On this day we remember the triumphant, yet humble entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem as the crowds waved palm branches and laid their cloaks before him. Weather permitting, our liturgy will feature the whole congregation processing around the outside of the church and then settling inside again for word and sacrament.
(Please note that this is the first week that there will not be a 9:00 AM service, and we all gather together at 10:00 AM.)

Palm Crosses
2018-03-23 10:00 - 12:00 | Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church, 57 Brant Ave, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
These are being made on Friday, March 23 at 10 am in the Lounge. All are welcome to participate. On Palm Sunday after church, anyone wishing to learn how to do this are invited to proceed down to Luther Hall and instructions will be given.
There is a lovely tradition of turning palm leaves from Palm Sunday into palm crosses, making the connection between Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and his passion on Good Friday. If you would like to learn and then make palm crosses for distribution on Palm Sunday, please come to the church on Friday, March 23 at 10:00 AM. There will also be a palm cross tutorial after worship on Palm Sunday for children – or anyone else who would like to learn.

Sewing Group Blessing of the Blankets
2018-03-18 10:30 - 11:30
This Sunday, March 18, many of the blankets that the Sewing Group creates every Tuesday in our basement will be displayed at worship and at Coffee Hour following worship, and God’s blessing on the blankets and the hands that have made them will be prayed for before they are shipped out in April.
The Sewing Group is made up of volunteers from our church and the community. Every Tuesday, this incredible and industrious production team comes together to sort, cut, sew, and store materials to be sent around the world through Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR). This year, the blankets will be sent to the M’bera refugee camp in Mauritania (west Africa) where more than 50,000 people have fled violent conflict in neighbouring Mali. More than half the population of the camp are children.
Together with over 1,000 blankets, the Sewing Group has also prepared over 200 sundresses and shorts, and assembled items for teacher kits, baby bundles, and school and hygiene supplies for the CLWR We Care kits.
The Sewing Group receives support from an ELCIC Women of Faith grant as well as a grant from the city of Brantford. Additionally, donations of fabric and sewing supplies come in from people all over the city throughout the year.
We are so grateful for the work that the Sewing Group does to bring comfort and hope to so many people around the world. Please join us for this special blessing at 10:00 AM this Sunday.
