GOOD FRIDAY, The Sanctuary Choir presents “Lamentations of the Lamb,” a Tenebrae Service

Please join us on Good Friday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m. for a very meaningful Tenebrae service featuring our Sanctuary Choir with instrumentalists in a choral presentation of “Lamentations of the Lamb” by Pamela Stewart and John Purifoy. The work will be accompanied by flute, oboe, cello, and piano. The service will include Gospel narratives followed by lamentations. As each lamentation is heard, candles will be extinguished, the sanctuary darkened, and symbols of worship stripped….until we are left in darkness to contemplate the meaning of the suffering and death of Jesus while examining our own lives in response.

 

EASTER SUNDAY CELEBRATION through Scripture, Message, Communion, and Music

Easter Sunday will be a most joyous celebration as we worship through scripture, message, communion, and music. The celebratory sounds of string quartet music along with majestic sounds of organ pipes will help us to raise our Alleluias to the risen Christ. The quartet will play movements from George Frederick Handel’s “Sonata Op. 1” as well as Edward Elgar’s “Nimod” from his “Enigma Variations.” The quartet will also accompany choral works sung by the Sanctuary Choir. Please join us as we worship the risen Christ: Sunday, April 9, at 10:30 a.m.
