The Spire The Monthly FUMC Newsletter March 2018 Dear Friend, Last month, I wrote about the beginning of Lent. This month, let's look at the end of Lent. This forty day season concludes with an emotional rollercoaster called Holy Week. This week is filled with lots of images and events which are intended to inspire and challenge us. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, commemorating Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. He was met with the waving of palm branches and shouts of "Hosanna" which is a Hebrew exclamation loosely translated as "Save us." We continue to celebrate Palm Sunday with the waving of palm branches in our worship. Later that week, we come to Maundy Thursday. The word Maundy derives from the Latin word "mandatum" which means "mandate." It commemorates Jesus' mandate to the disciples that they love one another (John 13:34). In the modern church, Maundy Thursday is the day we commemorate Jesus' last meal with his disciples, the sacrament we know as holy communion. Thus, communion is typically celebrated at this service. Also on Maundy Thursday, we remember Jesus' act of hospitality as he washed his disciple's feet. In some churches they will include a time for footwashing as part of the worship service. On Thursday night we also remember Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. In remembrance of that event, we include a prayer vigil here at First UMC that goes from the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday service to the beginning of the Good Friday service. Good Friday commemorates the events up to and including the death of the cross. We remember the arrest and trial, the betrayal and the agonizing hours spent on the cross. In some cultures there will be a procession of the cross through the city streets, making their way silently to the church. One might ask why such a day commemorating death is called "good." The term good refers to God's ability to take the saddest of events and fashion something good out of it. Other cultures refer to the day as Mourning Friday or "Stiller Freitag" (Silent Friday) or in some Nordic countries it is "The Long Friday." In some churches, there is a service that begins around sundown on Saturday and continues until midnight. This is called "The Easter Vigil." It is a time to retell the stories of holy week, recall the grief and sadness. At midnight, lights are turned out, silence comes over the church and a single candle is brought into the sanctuary, symbolizing the resurrection. From that single candle, worshippers will light their own candles,

The Spire ­ The Monthly FUMC Newsletter March 2018

 

Dear Friend,

Last month,  I wrote about  the beginning of Lent. This month,  let's  look at  the end of Lent. This  forty dayseason concludes with an emotional rollercoaster called Holy Week. This week is filled with lots of imagesand events which are intended to inspire and challenge us. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday,  commemorating Jesus'  entry  into  Jerusalem. He was met with  thewaving of  palm branches and  shouts  of  "Hosanna" which  is  a Hebrew exclamation  loosely  translated as"Save us." We continue to celebrate Palm Sunday with the waving of palm branches in our worship. Later that week, we come to Maundy Thursday. The word Maundy derives from the Latin word "mandatum"which means "mandate." It commemorates Jesus' mandate to the disciples that they love one another (John13:34).  In  the modern  church, Maundy  Thursday  is  the  day  we  commemorate  Jesus'  last meal  with  hisdisciples,  the  sacrament  we  know  as  holy  communion.  Thus,  communion  is  typically  celebrated  at  thisservice. Also on Maundy Thursday, we remember Jesus' act of hospitality as he washed his disciple's feet. In somechurches they will include a time for footwashing as part of the worship service. On Thursday night we also remember Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. In remembrance of thatevent, we include a prayer vigil here at First UMC that goes from the conclusion of  the Maundy Thursdayservice to the beginning of the Good Friday service. Good Friday commemorates the events up to and including the death of the cross. We remember the arrestand  trial,  the  betrayal  and  the  agonizing  hours  spent  on  the  cross.  In  some  cultures  there  will  be  aprocession of the cross through the city streets, making their way silently to the church. One might ask whysuch a day commemorating death is called "good." The term good refers to God's ability to take the saddestof events and fashion something good out of it. Other cultures refer to the day as Mourning Friday or "StillerFreitag" (Silent Friday) or in some Nordic countries it is "The Long Friday." In some churches, there is a service that begins around sundown on Saturday and continues until midnight.This is called "The Easter Vigil." It is a time to retell the stories of holy week, recall the grief and sadness. Atmidnight,  lights  are  turned  out,  silence  comes  over  the  church  and  a  single  candle  is  brought  into  thesanctuary, symbolizing  the  resurrection. From  that single candle, worshippers will  light  their own candles,

bathing  the  sanctuary  in  the  candlelight.  This  becomes  a  time  of  great  celebration  and  joy,  oftenaccompanied by fireworks. When the Easter Vigil is not celebrated, the second option is a sunrise service commemorating Mary's trip tothe empty tomb and her encounter with the risen Jesus. All of these events and services are designed to deepen the experiences of the holy week and prepare usfor the joy of Easter morning. Pace bene (peace and all good things),Howard
