*** Join Us Each Sunday for Sunday School at 9:00 AM! All are Welcome.
*** Worship Practice During Lent:
1. From Ash Wednesday on, the use of the organ is restricted to support for the singing of the
congregation.
2. Flowers are not placed in the chancel during Lent.
3. The color for the season is purple, suggesting solemnity.
4. It is a good time to encourage use of the sign of the Cross at the Invocation.
5. The "Alleluia" is omitted. Its absence makes us more consious of our Lord's loss on our behalf.
6. The "Hymn of Praise" is omitted.
During the most solemn times of the year the church hold to an older way of doing things. The absence of the "Hymn of Praise" reflects earlier times when the hymn had not become part of the liturgy.We will observe a time of silence in its absence.
