Messiah Lutheran Church issued the following announcement on April 3.
To the Faithful Flock of God at Messiah Lutheran Church:
Grace, Mercy and Peace to you as we enter our most sacred week of the church year.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday and Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem.
We continue our week with Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday where the institution of Eucharist is celebrated as well as we hear those magnificent words from John’s Gospel, “This I command you, that you love one another.” How true these words have echoed through the centuries and how imperative it is for us to hear them now.
This Friday, as we observe Jesus’ death and relive the Passion, we will be together on our website at 7 pm for Good Friday devotions and prayers followed by our joyous celebration of His Resurrection on Sunday at 10:30 am. We also can join together as a congregation in our spirit and pray for one another as God continues to knit our hearts together. You are welcome to go to our website and join in with many others of our congregation for our Easter Celebration of Prayers and hymns and an Easter message for all of us.
Please go to www.messiahny.com and click on the link for
Good Friday and Easter Sunday and join together in worship.
May God’s richest blessing be upon you and may He protect you and hold you in the palm of His Hand.
