Easter Season 2007

Ash Wednesday begins the Easter season.  To prepare ourselves for this holy season, we observe a day of prayer and fasting.  All the details of how and to what extent are up to you.  Spend the time you would eat in prayer.  The day culminates with Prayer Meeting at 7:00 p.m.

Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate Jesus entering Jerusalem to begin the week leading up to His death and resurrection. The people put Him on a donkey, laid their coats on the road, and waved palm branches to worship Him as God and King. Join us at 11:00 a.m. to celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry.

Good Friday is the day we celebrate and mourn the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  He laid down His life to atone for our sins, just as God promised 600 years earlier through the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 53, "He was bruised for our iniquities, by His stripes we are healed." Join us at 7:00 p.m. for a time to remember, mourn, contemplate, and celebrate the death of Jesus for us.

During these hours in which we commemorate Jesus dead and laid in the tomb, we take time to meditate on His death and resurrection. Why did He have to die?  How is it that our God died?  Use this meditation guide and spend time by yourself of with family in devotion.

Easter is the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead.  He was killed on the cross two days earlier on Good Friday.  Now we celebrate His resurrection.  God demonstrates His immense power through this act just as He promised 1000 years earlier through David who wrote in Psalm 16 "You will not allow Your Holy One to undergo decay." Join us at 6:15 a.m. in Wyoming Park for a Sunrise Celebration along with other churches in the area. Join us at 11:00 a.m. at church for our Easter Worship Service and communion.
