First Friday with Friends
April 4

First Friday with Friends is held in conjunction with Downtown Bryan’s First Friday activities. We have a meet up at Blackwater Draw and always have a few people there for the 5:30-7:30 timeframe. Some folks stay at Blackwater all evening and others stop by on their way to or from dining and playing in downtown Bryan.

Wonderful Wednesday with Women

Wonderful Wednesday with Women will meet on April 9 at 5pm at The Owl Pub & Grill at 315 S Main St. in Bryan. This is a casual, come-and-go event. All are welcome! Contact Stacy De Leon (stacybdeleon@gmail.com) for more information.

Palm Sunday Procession
April 13

Calling all children & youth! Meet in the narthex before the 11am service to help pass out palm branches in recognition of Jesus’ triumphant return to Jerusalem!

Good Friday Concert
April 18

Please join us for a very special Good Friday Worship Service, April 18, at 7:30 pm. The Friends Choir and Chamber Orchestra will be performing Michael John Trotta’s “Requiem,” in honor of this solemn holy day. Many of you heard two excerpts (with choir and piano) during the 11:00 Worship Service on March 23; come and experience the full work, with Scripture and prayer, as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus and reflect on his death, a day of profound meaning and hope for all. All are welcome.

Easter Finger Food Potluck
April 20

Join us following the 11am service on Easter Sunday on April 20 for a finger food potluck meal in the sanctuary. Bring sweet and savory items that don’t require silverware. Beverages provided.

Lenten Meditation
April 8 & 15

On Tuesdays during Lent, you are invited to the Friends Church sanctuary to start your morning with centering meditation. At 7:30am, April 8th and 15th, we gather for a brief introduction, followed by silent meditation, and follow-up conversation as time permits. Start to finish, this lasts between 35 and 45 minutes, hopefully allowing for those of us with work, school, and other obligations to get where we need to be on time. We are excited about this series of morning meditations that will bring us together in self- and community-preparation for Easter.

Guyz Breakfast
April 12

Guyz Breakfast brings together fellowship, fun and great food. Join us at the church on the second Saturday of the month 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. Bring your favorite breakfast food or drink to share. Pancakes and coffee are provided.

Maundy Thursday
April 17

Maundy Thursday is the day in Holy Week when we remember the new command Jesus gives his followers, to “love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” It is traditionally observed with foot- or hand-washing, and communion may also be observed. Instead of a formal worship service, the sanctuary will be open for two hours that evening with the pastors present to offer foot- or hand-washing as well as communion, and to pray with those who come to the church during that time. Chris Hoffman will offer piano music to carry us into that upper room with the disciples where Jesus shared a final meal with them before washing their feet. We hope you will come by to join in this special, come-and-go observance of Maundy Thursday any time between 6 and 8pm on April 17th.

Easter Egg Hunt
April 20

Annual Easter Egg Hunt for all children & youth! Please meet in the double classroom following the 11am service & we will all head out to the hunt together. Bring your own basket & potluck to follow.

Linda Coats Book Club
April 24

Linda Coats Book Club will meet on Thursday, April 24th at 6:30pm. Our book will be Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. Contact Becky Burks at Spirit_develop@friends-ucc.org for more details.
