2 Adult Cantata: THE WEEPING TREE! Good Friday, April 14 th 7:00p.m. in the sanctuary Join us Good Friday evening as our choir and guest orchestral musicians share the good news of the gospel as we remember the passion of Jesus and the power of the cross. This service of music and message testifies to the timeless truth of grace and redemption. This year s cantata, The Weeping Tree, allows us to focus on the cross through a service called Tenebrae. Tenebrae is an ancient Christian Good Friday service that makes use of gradually diminishing light reminding us of the darkness (physical & spiritual) associated with the death of Jesus on Good Friday. The word "tenebrae" comes from a Latin word meaning "shadows and is about the darkness of this day. The service concludes in darkness and worshipers then leave in silence to ponder the impact of Christ's death and await the coming Resurrection. Invite a friend or a co-worker and join us! Community Sunrise Easter Service 7:00 a.m., April 16 th at the TUMC Ballfield Join us (and millions of Christians around the world) as we greet the Easter morn and hear the wonderful resurrection message of Jesus victory over sin and death. This year we will join with other churches in our community for this special service. While it might be early, you don t want to miss this powerful time of worship. A light continental breakfast will be provided following the sunrise service. Easter Morning Worship Service 9:00 Alive and 11:00 services There is no more important service in the Christian year than Easter. The good news of Jesus Christ s resurrection is the foundation for our faith and the source of our hope. Invite a neighbor, friend or co-worker and come help us sing the joyous hymns of new life and victory over death! Experience the joy of this glorious day as we hear again the amazing words of how the stone has been rolled away!
