for Pastor Mike's message: The Risen Jesus. | Livestream at: CLC Website
Recorded service posted to: CGCC Facebook & CLC Facebook Come Grow With Us! ~~~ | | This week is Benevolence Sunday. | Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service Tonight, 7pm The Service of Tenebrae (Tenebrae is the Latin word for ‘shadows’) is a prolonged meditation on Christ’s suffering.
The Scripture readings trace the story of Christ’s passion,
the music portrays his pathos, and the power of silence and darkness display the drama of this momentous event. As lights are extinguished, we ponder the depth of Christ’s suffering and death. This is a night of repentance over sins and a sustained reflection upon Christ’s sacrifice of atonement. | Worshiping Together Spend Sunday mornings with us ~ in-person or online at 11:00am.
Let's grow together through Worship, Praise, and Prayer. Please send your prayer requests in for our Joys & Concerns email that goes out on
Monday morning! The CGCC website has a Contact/Prayer Request page, you can
email Jen Lynch directly, or use commonground.secretary@gmail.com. ~~~ | Bible Studies & Ministries ~~ Sunday Schedule ~~
