Love Divine takes its theme from John 3:16, the Bible verse which is the central pillar of Christianity: \u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son; that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The love behind Christ\u2019s sacrifice is pure and unbounded and\nexcels all others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an emotional examination of the Passion of Christ,\ntaking listeners from Jesus\u2019s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, to the Last\nSupper, to his prayers in the garden, his arrest, trial, crucifixion and his\nmiraculous resurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Tenebrae service will be woven into this by extinguishing\ncandles at the conclusion of each song, and the Lord\u2019s Supper will be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easter Service\/Resurrection of the Lord, 9:30 a.m.\nSunday, April 12, 2020 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This service represents the festival or holiday that took\nplace celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New\nTestament as having occurred on the third day of his burial after his\ncrucifixion at Calvary. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus, preceded\nby Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and penance. The day will begin\nwith a Continental Breakfast at 8 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall and worship service\nat 9:30 a.m. in the sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you will join us for these special services.
