Holy Week

Hi all. I'm slow getting this posted, but did want to let all of you know of Holy Week opportunities here this week.

• Maundy Thursday. We will have a service here, at 7:30p.m., in conjunction with our sister American Baptist Churches. Service includes communion.
• Good Friday Community Services. We co-host this with the other State Street area churches. Services begin at 12:00 at First United Methodist (next door). There are three services lasting 30 minutes each. The First Baptist Church choir and organist will be offering music at the 1:00 service.
• Good Friday Tenebrae Service. 8:00p.m., here at First Baptist. If you can only come to one Holy Week service, we'd highly recommend this one. We begin with a little light and some candles, we end sitting in darkness together after having heard the reading of the Passion story, along with musical and spoken reflections.
• Easter! Service at 10:00a.m. Fellowship afterwards.

Come for as many as you are able!

Hope to see you all tonight, too.

Kudos to Lauren, who, according to Paul, did a simply fabulous job at her reading on Saturday night. Lauren and Adam will be cooking our meal tomorrow night - so y'all come!

Don't forget that Thursday night we (at FBC) are having a special Evensong service focused on the situation in Darfur. Becky will be at the piano, helping lead. Please come!

Becky, I hope you're feeling better. Paul has had four days of fever as well. I think the boys are finally feeling better. How on earth did I escape this one? Hope the rest of you are staying well, getting some rest, and keeping hydrated. See you tomorrow night.

Oh, and lest I forget: here's another theology quiz for your enjoyment. What's your theological worldview?
Here's mine:

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
