A Tenebrae service featuring music from Jesus Christ Superstar led by a combined choir with communion served by local pastors.

GOOD FRIDAY • Friday, March 29, 7:00pm, CCSM Sanctuary & Online

The "7 Last Words of Jesus" experienced through song and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail," written on Good Friday in 1963. Music will be led by strings and a multi-church choir, and we'll share in a time of lighting candles for peace. This service will be livestreamed.

EASTER VIGIL • Saturday, March 30, 7:00pm, College Heights UCC

An imaginative recreation of the first Great Vigil, held by Mary Magdalene, alone at the tomb. We will prepare for the Vigil by hearing Mary’s story, sharing in an anointing and celebrating communion. The conclusion will be a Taizé-like experience of spending the night waiting at the tomb, not knowing what is going to happen on Easter morning but still feeling pulled to be there, to hold the energy.
