Evening Worship: The Last Week of Jesus
Thursday, April 2, 2026, 7:00 pm

Join us for a moving evening of worship as we gather to remember the final days of Jesus’ earthly life.  Through scripture, prayer, music, and silence, we encounter Jesus and his disciples in the Upper Room, share in Holy Communion as they did, and listen as the story of his suffering unfolds in the growing shadows of the cross.  Together, we will enter the sacred story that leads us toward Easter hope.  All are welcome.  This one service will take the place of our usual offerings on Holy Thursday and Good Friday.  If you are unable to attend in person, the service will be live-streamed and available at stonybrook.church/worship, as well as on Facebook and YouTube.

Join us on Sunday, April 5, as we celebrate the hope and joy of Easter. We will begin the morning with a 6:30 am Sunrise Service at the Fishers' Barn. Please park at Stonybrook and walk across the street to the barn. Additional Easter services will follow at 8:00 am, 9:30 am, and 11:00. We look forward to worshiping and celebrating the resurrection together!

Monthly Movie You are invited to join the movie group for an entertaining look at early Methodism in colonial America with the movie "A Great Awakening."  The movie tells the true story of the collaboration between George Whitefield, who worked with John Wesley in the early days of the Methodist movement, and Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia publisher and Founding Father.  Whitefield was educated and preached in England but traveled to the colonies at least seven times and spent many years here.  His preaching to large crowds was instrumental to the first "Great Awakening," a religious revival in the 1730s and 1740s.  The movie is at Stoneridge Cinemark and we will go to the first showing Monday, April 6.  Please check online over the weekend for showtimes.  We will walk to a local spot for lunch and conversation after the movie.  This is not limited to Stonybrook members so feel free to invite friends.  If you have questions, contact Bill Bartter (wbartter@att.net).
