Holy Week can be a
‘piece of cake‘ to Christians as they shout ‘Hosanna’ on Palm Sunday and sing ‘Alleluia’ on Easter. Both are worthy,
uplifting services. However, the African-American spiritual, ‘Do Lord, O do
Lord, O do remember me,' contains one verse proclaiming 'If you can’t bear the
cross, you can’t wear the crown' which applies to the two weekday events
between Palm Sunday and
Easter. Maundy Thursday is a
service that reminds of us of the last supper, of forgiveness, and of seeking
peace. Hymns, prayer, Holy Communion, and sharing of crosses make up this
service. Good Friday, the darkest day in the
Christian calendar, reminds us of the cross, the betrayal of Jesus, and the
indifference of people to those who are suffering. Readings by members of the
community, an anthem, and prayers will be said and sung. Come to the United Ministry of Aurora, Thursday and Friday nights, March 28 and 29 at 7:00 PM to prepare yourself for the coming
joys of Easter. 337 Main
