Worship Guide March 2016

 It’s that time of year again!  The pastel colors of spring decorate the Valley, an abundance of intricately painted eggs begin to appear in stores and homes, and talks of the Easter bunny begin to fill the mouths of children all across Santa Clarita.  However, beginning with the 40-day period of Lent following Ash Wednesday and ending with Holy Week including Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday before Easter Sunday, the religious season is often overlooked by the Easter bunny and egg hunting.  This year, take a moment to read the input from these local pastors and reverends from churches in our very own community!  Get in touch with your spiritual side and browse this month’s Worship Guide to discover a little more than you previously knew about Easter and find out when your local house of worship is holding its Holy Week services.
