Holy Week Thought

There’s a term in the art world known as chiaroscuro. It’s an Italian word: the Italians invented the technique. Before chiaroscuro, paintings were uniformly bright, often enclosed in gilt frames and matting. But with the advent of this technique, things changed in the world of painting. Artists discovered the dramatic power of shadow — of painting a person whose face was illuminated by a single candle, surrounded on every side by darkness. This technique somehow captured the ambiguity and uncertainty of life. Against the background of darkness, light seems all the more brilliant.

Easter is a glorious celebration, whether or not we have paid Lent, or Maundy Thursday, or Good Friday any mind. Yet the sunlight of Easter morn never seems so bright, unless we come to the empty tomb by way of the upper room, and unless we have stood for a time at the foot of the cross.

Holy Week Services

Greetings in the name of our Risen Savior,

This week we will have special services Thursday, April 9th and Friday, April 10th at 7:00pm. The Maundy Thursday service is a communion service. On Good Friday we will have a Tenebrae service, also called a service of shadows with the nailing of the cross.

Easter Sunday morning at 10:00am we will have an Easter Egg Hunt for our children and fellowship time in the fellowship hall with cookies, coffee and juice.
Also, don't forget that we will be flowering the cross Easter morning.
