Holy Week

[Bryan Hooper]

Dear Church,

Holy Week begins today. I hope that you can keep Holy Week in your
mind each day this week. We are offering some special services later
this week to help you focus on the crucifixion and resurrection.

Maundy Thursday
7:30 p.m.
This night we focus on the cross of Christ, remembering his last
words. Communion is served.

Good Friday
noon to 3 p.m.
During these traditional hours of the crucifixion, our sanctuary is
open for prayer and quiet meditation.

Easter Sunday
6:15 a.m.
Our ecumenical sunrise service is held at the Sunrise Overlook in
Elizabeth Park.
10:00 a.m.
Our traditional service of celebration features special music. The
sermon is titled "Now It Is Finished."

I hope you will plan now to attend any or all of these special
services. And plan to bring a friend along too and share your faith.

I also have recently updated our website with recent sermons and a new
blog post reflecting on Holy Week. You can visit us online at
umcofhartford.org.

I hope you are well and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Blessings,
Pastor Bryan
