   Holy Week Review

We spent a very full week together. We began with a rousing procession of the Palms to the tune of Prepare the Way of the Lord from Godspell.

We met for a Seder Meal followed by communion on

Maundy Thursday.

Good Friday found us in the sanctuary for a service of Tenebrae followed by a prayer vigil until midnight.

Easter morning our early service was moved indoors due to rain and incorporated four different congregations and four different languages. It struck me as Easter and Pentecost combined.

At the 10:00am service we met in fellowship hall because the sanctuary had been sealed off like a tomb. We then tore open the shroud and entered into the Resurrection accompanied by the choir. There was also the joy of the Easter Egg hunt and intergenerational fellowship/celebration time that followed the service.
