This is Holy Week and I pray you will find time to reflect on Christ's walk with you as we prepare to celebrate Easter next Sunday. We have several opportunities for you to gather and worship this week. Each has their own unique character.
On Thursday, April 9 we will gather around the Communion Table and remember the events of the Last Supper. There will be drama and music to prepare us for communion. The service is at 7:00 p.m. and is one of the nicest and simplest services of the year.
On Good Friday, April 10, we will gather with Christians from across the city at Chelsea Parade and walk down Broadway singing and reading scriptures as we remember Christ's own walk carrying the cross. The leaders of the various congregations will take turns carrying the cross and lay readers will share the scriptures. The walk begins at 6:00 p.m. In the event of inclement weather the service will take place at Central Baptist Church.
On Easter Morning we will gather at Howard Brown Park at 6:30 a.m. for our Community Sunrise Service. We will claim the victory of the resurrection and greet our Lord once again. I will lead the worship and singing and Rev. Jeff Sharp of Norwich Worship Center will present the Easter message. The band from Norwich Alliance will accompany us. Breakfast will follow at the Alliance Church as a reward for those who are able to attend.
Our Easter celebration will begin at 10:30 a.m. with the choir and our special Easter band leading the way. It will be one of the best services of the year and we will surely have a full house. Parking will be available across the street at Oak Tree Plaza and Midas Muffler as well as up above at Firestone Tire. We hope you will be with us.
