Every year, we begin Lent by remembering that it is from dust that we come, and to dust, we will return. On Ash Wednesday, we recognize the fragility of life, knowing we can still look to the hope of Easter.

Knowing they were his final days, Christ set aside time to serve his disciples. He washed their feet, and he communed with them in the Last Supper and First Communion. On Maundy Thursday, we gather together as a church family, taking time to reflect on the humble servant that was Jesus Christ.

One of the darkest days in the Christian year. What must the disciples have been feeling witnessing the crucifixion of the man to whom they had been so devoted? We know the end of the story, but they did not. Join your FMC family for a Tenebrae service as we take time to feel what the disciples might have felt and honor the sacrifice that Christ made for all the world.

Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed! The disciples may not have been certain of the end of the story, but as followers of Jesus Christ, we know what happened on the third day. Come and raise your "Alleluia" in worship with us to celebrate the risen Christ! Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!
