Holy Week!

Holy week has arrived. I hope you will consider taking advantage of the special services we will offer at Grace:

Maundy Thursday - 7:00 p.m. From the United Methodist Book of Worship: On this night Christians commemorate the supper Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion, when Jesus washed the disciples' feet (John 13:1 17) and instituted the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper (Matthew 26:26 29; Mark 14:22 25; Luke 22:13 20; 1 Corinthians 11:23 25).

Pastor John will be preaching.

Good Friday - Service of Tenebrae - 7:00 p.m. From the United Methodist Book of Worship: A Service of Tenebrae, or "Darkness," is based on a twelfth century late night/early morning service and is an extended meditation on the passion of Christ.

I have opted to not have a sermon on Good Friday so that we can concentrate on the Tenebrae. This is a very powerful service all by itself. There will be no need for me to say more.

peace,

will
