Inside: Lots of opportunities to worship together during Holy Week.
Sunday begins Holy Week. This week, Palm Sunday, Pastor David will preach a sermon entitled "The Jesus Gate" from John 14. We will also have the privilege of celebrating a baptism this Sunday. What a great way to begin Holy Week!
We hope that you will join us (and bring a friend) as many times as you can this week as we focus our hearts on the last week of Jesus' earthly ministry.
Holy Week Services
Monday-Wednesday from 11:30-12:00, we will join with our brothers and sisters at the Methodist Church to hear a brief devotion. Lunch will not be served this year, but the service will be brief so that you can grab lunch before returning to work!
Maundy Thursday
Thursday night we will gather together at 7:00 PM to reflect on the final hours of Jesus' life before the cross. We will partake of the Lord's Supper together in worship. (Note that we will have a normal Wednesday night schedule.)
Good Friday Cross Procession
Friday evening we will meet at the Methodist Church for a brief time of devotion and prayer before carrying the cross down Main Street to First Baptist. This is a visible and public way to reflect on Jesus' journey to the crucifixion and bring some awareness of the day to our neighbors in McDuffie County.
Easter Sunday Morning
Praise God that the journey did not end at the cross! Join us at any of our 3 services as we celebrate our Risen King!
7:00 AM: Sunrise Service at Savannah Valley
8:15 AM: FBC Sanctuary
10:45 AM: FBC Sancturary
And note that we will have normal Sunday School at 9:30.
We will continue our celebration of the Easter Season the Saturday after Easter. April 23 from 11am-2pm we will have a kids' eggstravaganza and community festival. We want to start putting this information in as many hands as we can, because this event is going to be a lot of fun for everyone!
