Easter Services

Here's a brief overview of our Easter celebrations this year.

1. On Tuesday the 3rd of April at 7:30pm we will be having a brief ‘Tenebrae’ service – this is a reflective service using darkness, candles, psalms, and prayer.
2. On Thursday the 5th of April at 7:30pm we will be having our Maundy Thursday service – this service celebrates Jesus’ institution of Holy Communion, and ends with the altar being stripped bare in darkness as we prepare for Good Friday.
3. On Friday the 6th of April at 9:00am (11:00am in Castlemaine) we will be celebrating the death of Christ on the Cross as a sacrifice for our sins.
4. On Sunday the 8th of April at 10:00am (8:00am in Castlemaine) we will be celebrating the resurrection of the Lord. This will also be a special day in the life of our congregation as different people will be baptised or welcomed to communion.

The three services from Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday are designed to work together as one whole celebration, but if you are only able to make it to one or two, you will still have an opportunity to hear God’s Word and to receive the Lord’s Supper.

God Bless

Pastor Fraser
