United Methodist celebrates Holy Week |
| March 26, 2013 |
|
The congregation at United Methodist Church,
located at Lincoln and Denver Streets in Bonners
Ferry, began their Holy Week celebrations with a
palm processional last Sunday, but they have
several more special services on tap through
Easter Sunday. A simple remembrance of Jesus' last Passover night with his disciples takes place at 7 p.m. on Holy Thursday, March 28. On Good Friday, March 29, they'll observe the Stations of the Cross, also at 7 p.m., remembering the last days of Jesus' life. As this is a powerful and dramatic service, it's not recommended that young children attend. The first service of Easter takes place at 7 a.m., with a community Easter celebration on the parsonage lawn, 6706 Denver Street, which is just up the hill behind the church. A potluck breakfast will follow in the Fellowship Hall, and after that, kids will set out on an Easter egg hunt. Easter Sunday services will begin at 10:15 a.m., with the combined band and choir leading in traditional and contemporary hymns. A special Easter coffee hour will follow the service.
