What a beautiful and meaningful week of services at Second City Church. I found myself exhausted Sunday afternoon after our Easter service, but filled with joy and peace in Jesus. Palm Sunday began with a energetic processional with marching percussion, children waving palms and the parade shouting hosannas. We had the children and adults (whoever was brave enough) march in from the other side of the church, into the sanctuary and up to the front sing a “Hosanna!” chorus. What a joyful and festive way to start a service. The week moved reverently through a healing service on Wednesday night, Maundy Thursday service filled with the Lord’s Supper, foot washing and the choir singing Thomas Tallis’ If Ye Love Me. Finally there was a Good Friday Tenebrae service. Easter morning was filled of course with a burst of triumphant singing. Attached is the Palm Sunday Processional, a communion hymn fitting for Maundy Thursday, a song appropriate for Good Friday called A Crown and Thorns, and a song we sang on Easter called The Strife is Over the Battle Done. Happy Easter!
