This morning's Sunday Worship will be a special performance of Lux Aeterna by Morten Lauridsen. Directed by Diane Hires, the choir will join with a 23-piece guest orchestra to present this lustrous work. Family and friends are welcome to join us for this musical offering sure to uplift our spirits!
This service of hymns, prayers, scripture readings and a sermon is held in the Sanctuary, with music to celebrate Easter by the Chancel Choir and Brass Ensemble. All children from Kindergarten through 6th grade start in the Sanctuary for worship. After the Moment for Children, children may return to their families for worship or go with Pastor John to Sunday School. All 1st-3rd graders need to be signed-in on the sheets located just outside the sanctuary.
During this solemn Tenebrae Service, the Chancel Choir sings reflective, somber anthems, the lights dim and candles are extinguished as the last words of Christ are read and His death is imminent. The service ends in silence and darkness.
At this Maundy Thursday service we commemorate the Last Supper when Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples on the night before he was crucified.
