Did You Know?

"Good Friday" is not a universal name for the day. The liturgical title for the day in the Western church was "Friday of Preparation," since the time Jews used the word paraskeue (getting ready) for Friday, meaning the "day of preparation." Popular names for the day are "Holy Friday" among the Latin nations, "Great Friday" among the Slavic peoples, "Friday of Mourning" in Germany, "Long Friday" in Norway, and "Holy Friday" (Viernes Santo) among Hispanic peoples.

Hi! This Sunday you will see some unusual trees around the church. These trees will have ornaments, shaped as either an Easter egg or Easter basket, on them. Each ornament will represent a ministry that we are supporting along with many other United Methodist Churches. These ornaments provide an opportunity to give beyond your regular tithe.

 

Think of the... .

A Word for Thought
    
"Make it a rule, and pray to God to help you to keep it, never, if possible, to lie down at night without being able to say: "I have made one human being at least a little wiser, or a little happier, or at least a little better this day."
