Palm Sunday Service
This is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and generally do so bythe carrying and waving of palm fronds.
Maundy Thursday Service will be reschedule.
On this night our Choir will perform a Cantata entitled “LOVE DIVINE” by Joel Raney. Love
Divine takes its theme from John 3:16, the Bible verse which is the central pillar of Christianity: “For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son; that whosoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.” The love behind Christ’s sacrifice is pure and unbounded and excels all others.
This is an emotional examination of the Passion of Christ, taking listeners from Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, to the Last Supper, to his prayers in the garden, his arrest, trial, crucifixion and his miraculous resurrection. A Tenebrae Service will be woven into this by extinguishing candles at the conclusion of each song.
Easter/Resurrection of the Lord
This service represents the festival or holiday that took place celebrating the resurrection of Jesus
from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial after his crucifixion at Calvary. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.
