Holy Week


First, don't forget about our Sausage and Pancake Supper this Saturday, March 27 from 4-8pm. Please bring a friend or 8 of them.

Holy Week is approaching! It is quite the roller coaster ride. On Sunday we go from joyous celebration of palm waving and Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem to his betrayal and death. It is quite an up and down one hour of worship! Then Holy Week continues with a Good Friday service at Nokesville United Methodist Church at 7:30pm (April 2). If you have never been to a Good Friday service, it is quite different from a typical Sunday celebration. Finally we conclude Holy Week with Easter services (April 4). We will have a sunrise service at 6:30am for the whole Nokesville community. In the history of the Christian Church, this has been they holiest of worship services. In the early Church it was the pinnacle of the year; no one missed the Easter sunrise service! Finally we conclude with our tradition Easter service at 10:30am.
Enjoy your Holy Week--the pinnacle of the Christian year--and hang on for the ride!
