We are preparing for Easter which is the most joyous and celebrated Christian season which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We observed Ash Wednesday which was the beginning of Lent. On April 13 we will have a Palm Sunday Service which commemorates the spreading of palm leaves and cloaks during Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Other services include:
- Maundy Thursday Service – Thursday, April 17, the time and location will be announced at the Palm Sunday service. Maundy Thursday is observed on the day before Good Friday. Maundy Thursday commemorates Jesus last meal with his disciples and the first communion ritual. The word Maundy comes from the Latin (man datum) which means command. The command Jesus gave to His disciples was to love one another.
- Good Friday Service – Friday, April 18, the time and location will be announced at the Palm Sunday service. Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross at Calvary.
- Easter Sunrise Service and Breakfast – Sunday, April 20 at 9 a.m. – Four Corners UMC. We will celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. After the service we will enjoy a potluck breakfast in our fellowship hall. Everyone is invited to join us.
Some of you can remember Easter services at Four Corners when you were younger. The church was filled with flowers, especially lilies that are symbols of Christ’s resurrection. Sunday School children learned “pieces” to recite during the Easter church service. We sang Easter songs, and the church was filled with families and we all enjoyed the Easter Sunrise breakfast. The kids also enjoyed Easter eggs and candy!!
The Seneca Hymn Singers are available for services when needed. Contacts are Beeda Parker or Terry Thompson.
Continue to pray for healing in our communities. Pray for those battling addictions. Pray for those who are mourning. Pray for those who are struggling with illness. But also, give thanks for all the blessings that we have in our lives. On Sunday mornings you are invited to join us for a Worship service at 9 a.m. We look forward to seeing you and your family. Peace.
