On Thursday, April 1, at 6 p.m. we invite everyone to join our Maundy Thursday Celebration. We will come together for a covered dish dinner with the Deacons providing the roast beef. Again we invite you to bring a dish to share with the church family and a place setting to enjoy the meal. At the end of our meal we will join together in communion as we hear the words “Do This in Remembrance of Me”. Friday, April 2, we will come together for a service of worship at 7 p.m. The Good Friday service will be a Tenebrae service. We will extinguish candles, read scripture, sing and hear beautiful music all remembering what Christ has done for us. The word “Tenebrae” means darkness. In this service, eight candles are gradually extinguished, symbolizing the flight and denial of the disciples and friends of Jesus after the crucifixion. A ninth candle, symbolizing Christ, remains lighted throughout the service; the light of Christ can never be extinguished. In that light we find forgiveness and fellowship with our Lord. On Easter Sunday, we invite you to our worship experiences as we proclaim “He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed”. The Early Sunrise Service will begin at 7:30 a.m., we again are planning to have the service outside around the cross, weather permitting. This will be followed by a breakfast provided by the youth of our church. Sunday school will begin at 9:15, followed by our Morning Worship at 10:30 singing our Alleluias Christ is Risen. Ken
