Alexis Fuller-Wright and included several remembrances by friends and family, with musical offerings by Sunny and Shaun.  Join us as we journey from Jerusalem to the Upper Room, from the Garden to the Trial, from the Cross to the Empty Tomb during the Passion of Jesus during Holy Week.
April 10 we celebrate the triumphal entry on Palm Sunday and events leading up to Jesus's betrayal and arrest in a Reader's Theater presentation during our Palm/Passion Sunday worship at 11:00AM. Maundy Thursday on April 14 is a time to remember the Last Supper when Jesus shared the bread and the cup with his disciples before heading into the Garden of Gethsemane, where Judas led the priests. Good Friday, April 15, we recall the crucifixion and death of our savior on the cross in silent meditation from our homes or in the sanctuary that will be open during office hours (9am-2pm). Easter Sunday, April 17, we rejoice that He is risen! He is risen indeed! Join us for a resurrection celebration during the 11 o'clock hour, including the sharing of Holy Communion.  Quiet your mind and tend to your heart. Join us for a community gathering of meditation. We'll have a short introduction to the purpose of meditation, followed by a 20-minute guided meditation and a contemplation of our experience.

Then our brass section will shine through Paul Dukas’ Fanfare pour précéder la Péri, Humperdinck’s Abendsegen & Pantomime from Hansel & Gretel, the Premiere of ESO’s own Justin Miller’s Strife, and an arrangement of Shostakovich’s Suite from “The Gadfly.” Tickets are required and can be purchased here.

Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent with a public act of confession and contrition. Acknowledging that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, we stand in solidarity as fellow creatures before our Creator, acutely aware of our mortality. In the face of our transience, we pledge ourselves anew to live unto God’s Word in Jesus Christ, the eternal Word that remains forever.
FPCE will hold an Ash Wednesday Service at 7:00PM on March 2, 2022 in the Sanctuary led by the Rev. Fairlight Collins Lower. |
