Holy Week – 2016

Holy Week 2016 Banner
We invite you to join us for some special worship services during this year’s Holy Week. It is the most significant week in the life of those who believe in Jesus Christ and our prayer is that you will find great meaning in the events of this week.
 

Palm Sunday – March 20 at 10:30 a.m.

Jesus makes his grand entrance into Jerusalem at the beginning of the most important week the world has ever known. It is the beginning of the last week of his life here on earth with us.

Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service – March 24 at 7:30 p.m.

 
The word Tenebrae is Latin for “shadows” or “darkness.” It can also be translated as “night” or “death.” The Tenebrae service is an ancient tradition in Christian history that took place on one of the last three days of Holy Week: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, or Holy Saturday. The purpose of this service was to remember the somber events that occurred in Jesus’ life from the exuberant entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through the night of Jesus’ burial on Good Friday. This year our Maundy Service will be a Tenebrae Service during which we will be celebrating the Lord’s Supper as well.

Good Friday – March 25 at 12:00 noon.

Join us for a delicious Soup Luncheon and time of fellowship before we gather in the Sanctuary for our Good Friday Service. It is important that we meet with Jesus on the day he gave his life for our sins and not just skip forward to the joy of Easter when he rose from the dead.

Easter Prayer Service – March 27 at 9:00 a.m.

We invite you to an early prayer service by the cross on the Route 6 property. This beautiful setting is a special way to start Easter Sunday.

Easter Worship Celebration – March 27 at 10:30 a.m.

It is the biggest celebration of the year for Christ followers as we commemorate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead in victory over sin and death. Come share in the joy with us. The worship celebration will be followed by a time of fellowship and an Easter Egg Hunt for the children with some other activities as well. Since it is also our Family, Friends and Neighbors Day, we encourage you to invite people to our Easter Service. Our guests will receive a book as a welcoming gift on Easter Sunday.
