Passion Week Services
“Were you there?” A walk through Holy Week: Our traditional service on April 1 (Maundy Thursday) will take a different shape this year. Following our series of worship services in Lent, our Holy Week worship service will invite us back into the experiences of Holy Week. Using guided reflections, scripture reading, sights and sounds, & acts of worship such as communion & prayer, you will be invited to walk through the days of Holy Week. Persons are invited to come anytime between 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. and move through the different stations at their own pace. If you have questions, please talk to Pastor Randall or Pastor Julia.
Community Good Friday service: The Hempfield Area churches will be holding a community Good Friday Service at Landisville Church of God, 12:15 p.m. Individuals interested in participating in a community choir during the service are asked to participate in a rehearsal at 11:30 a.m. that morning.
