"One Sunday could color your whole year!!!"

Jackie and I would like wish you a wonderful springtime and personally invite you join us at one of our glorious Easter worship services at Washington Cathedral.

This church has a purpose to be a great force of encouragement in the community and a place ofincredible inspiration every week – that’s why we have eleven different worship services that take place each week.

You may have heard that the new ReCreation Center is now open to the community. A great “third space” that allows people of all backgrounds, philosophies and religions to gather; enjoying one another despite our differences while building life-long friendships. The new ReCreation Center has a beautiful gymnasium, a heated zero-entry indoor pool, a health center lead by psychiatrist, Dr. Ray Vath and an amazing library andcoffee shop which are open for hanging out. You might find an indoor soccer game, roller-skating, a yoga class, water aerobics, after school tutoring and any number of activities taking place here seven days a week.

On Good Friday, we will be featuring an incredible dramatic presentation of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. What an amazing story of God’s forgiveness for humanity, something that we all need. At Washington Cathedral we see this great act as God’s message that we ought to treat everyone, both Christians and those of other religions, with dignity. This act was a display of God’s love for all humanity, compelling all Christians to love and respect everyone, even those with whom we disagree. On Good Friday we have organized Easterparties for the children during the presentation so that their experience of church might be full of the joy that should come with any healthy faith.

On Easter Sunday at 11:00am in the ReCreation Center there will be a dramatic reenactment of the first Easter which will be an awesome presentation of the hope of eternal life through Easter. This will be just a part of the worship experience at Washington Cathedral with wonderful music, friendly people and a shortuplifting message that will be a blessing to you and your family. And of course if you would like to attend our Sunrise Service at 6:45am, Easter Breakfast from 7:15am to 1:00pm, or Sunday afternoon’s Easter Egg Hunt at 2:00 pm, you are more than welcome. Or maybe it works best for you to attend one of our other varieties of worship services (our website www.wacathedral.org will give you all the details and times).

Jackie and I hope to see you this Easter and we encourage you to invited neighbors, friends and family to join you for an Easter a service that you will truly find inspiring.

Your friends for the rest of our lives,

Tim & Jackie
