The Weekly - 03/11/10
March 11th, 2010The Weekly, a once-a-week blog post from Lafayette First Church of the Nazarene, highlights event information, offers opportunities to get involved, and shares some of the story of what God is doing. For more information, visit us on our website.
Good Friday
The Friday of Holy Week has been traditionally called "Good Friday." On this day, the church remembers the arrest, trial, crucifixion and burial of Jesus.
In an effort to remember the loneliness, pain, humiliation, and suffering of Jesus, our Savior, we will be gathering for a Good Friday worship service on April 2 at 7 PM. The worship service will be an adapted version of a "Tenebrae" service. "Tenebrae" is the latin word for "shadow" or "darkness." This powerful service will include Scripture readings, hymns, and worship songs. And throughout the service the lighting will be continually dimmed - eventually leaving the room in darkness.
Please plan on attending with your family. It is hard to celebrate a resurrection if you have not first experienced death. Participating in this Good Friday service will help to make your Easter experience even more significant.
Family Easter Celebration
If there was ever a time on the church's calendar that calls for a celebration it is Easter. Join us on Saturday, March 20 at 1o AM for an event that will help the whole family celebrate Easter. The Family Easter Celebration will include the Veggie Tales film "An Easter Carol" as well as an Easter Egg hunt for children through 6th grade.
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time begins this early in the morning this Sunday (March 14). Be sure to set your clocks forward 1 hour before going to bed on Saturday evening.
