Easter Week at Riverside

Palm Sunday, April 2, 10:30 a.m.

We have a tradition of waving palm branches as a symbol of Jesus’s arrival in Jerusalem on a donkey. But this year, we’ve decided instead to wave the greenery that surrounds us in this place, such as ferns and wind-blown fir branches, as a reminder that the Holy One is with us, right here and right now.

Wednesday, April 5, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

“Circle of Solace,” a safe and sacred place to share grief, be it for the world, community or personal loss.

Maundy Thursday, April 6, 5:30-6:30

We are invited to join the Maundy Thursday service at Bethel in White Salmon.
