POMFRET — The First Congregational Church of Pomfret invites the community to join in observing Holy Week during a variety of special services and events that will be held during the week of April 10-17.
Holy Week begins this year on Sunday, April 10 with a Palm Sunday service at 10:30. Rev. Thomas Crumb will share a special message for these troubled times titled: Bright Hope For Tomorrow.
On Maundy Thursday, April 14 the church will host a representative from the organization Jews for Jesus at 6 p.m. who will lead in a powerful, interactive experience titled Christ in the Passover.
A Passover Seder meal will be provided by the congregation making this a sensory exploration of the beautiful Jewish ceremony that Jesus shared with His disciples on the evening before His crucifixion.
As the traditional, symbolic foods are shared, the story of the exodus and freedom from slavery will be woven together with the messianic hope realized in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Jewish or not, religious or not—all are welcome for this unforgettable, thought-provoking experience.
Reservations are requested to ensure that the proper amount of food is prepared. Please contact the church at
At 7 p.m. on Good Friday, April 15 the congregation will gather for “Journey to the Cross” a multimedia time of meditation and reflection on Christ’s crucifixion.
Using a blending of Scripture readings, great artwork of the past and present, music and song, you will be led step by step through the unfolding series of events that culminate in the death and burial of Jesus.
Easter Sunday, April 17 will be celebrated with two very different events.
A sunrise service at 6 a.m. will be held at Booth Farm, 549 Wolf Den Road in Brooklyn. At 10:30 the congregation will gather once more for worship and celebration in the church sanctuary.
Beautiful flowers, special music and a message by Rev. Crumb, “The Curse That Became the Cure.”
All welcome to all events.
