Holy Week(end)

Just a few reminders of what's going on at Second this weekend for Holy Week.  I would encourage any of you to attend any of these services (regardless of whether you're a member or not, or even if you've never been to Second for anything) as they are amazing reminders of what Easter is really all about.  I heard it said earlier this week that we "shouldn't be so quick to celebrate Palm Sunday and immediately jump to celebrating Easter" without realizing that one of the darkest and most introspective moments in the world's history happened during that week.  I hope to see you at Second at one of these services.

Thursday evening [8 p.m.] -- Maundy Thursday Service of Tenebrae and Communion.

Friday afternoon [12 p.m. - 3 p.m.] -- An open service (come and go as you please) that rotates every 20 minutes and focuses on "The Seven Last Words of Christ", including a string quartet with Haydn's Seven Last Words.

Sunday morning [8 a.m./9:30 a.m./11:15 a.m./5 p.m./6 p.m.] -- Join us for our Easter Sunday services.
