Christmas and Easter Worship
Christmas and Easter are special times in the life of Second Pres.
Join us in these celebrations of the life of Jesus Church and the Church.
Christmas Eve On December 24th we offer two worship celebrations, each with its own unique emphasis.
•5pm – Children’s Pageant and Family Worship. The children lead us in song as they re-tell the story of Jesus’ birth in this worship celebration. You’ll sing your favorite carols and experience the power of candlelit praise. If your child would like to participate in the pageant, contact Vicki Lantz, Director of Christian Education (717-243-4571). Professional infant and toddler care is provided at this service.
• 11pm – Traditional Festive Worship with your favorite carols and special music offered by our choirs. The pastor offers a Christmas sermon, and we conclude with a candle-lit rendition of “Silent Night.”
Holy Week and Easter Schedule
Maundy Thursday --7:30 p.m. -- The Tennebrae Service (a candlelit experience) includes Scriptures, readings, and hymns that reflect on Jesus' final days before His resurrection. Communion is served.
Easter Praise! -- 8:00am and 10:30am – Traditional Festive Worship – Our choirs, accompanied by the sounds of brass, bells, and timpani, lead us in celebrating the victory that is ours on Easter morning and always. At the 10:30 celebration, infant and toddler care is provided, and kids have a special part to play in the service. Because of the special nature of the day, there are no Christian Education (Sunday School or Adult Education) or Children’s Church offerings on Easter Sunday.
