Rich volunteered to lead worship on Easter Sunday and because of his love for classical music, decided to pick traditional hymns interspersed with selections from Handal’s “Messiah”. The morning will start out with somber songs commemorating Christ’s crucifixion and evolve into a celebration of Jesus’ resurrection ending with the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah. Flowers given in memorial of loved ones will decorate the sanctuary for the Glory of God and visually complement the sounds of beautiful, God honoring music.
As Hebrews 10:22 reminds us: “let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.”
Thanks to Christ’s death and resurrection this is possible!
