Trinity Lutheran Church

During Holy Week, 2010, there will be two special musical events that will deepen your Lenten journey towards Easter. 
The First will take place as part of Sunday morning worship on Palm Sunday and will involve our Children’s Choir.  The processional hymn that we sing annually, “All Glory, Laud, and Honor” was written by a church bishop by the name of Theodolph.  In fact, the tune that we use to sing his text is called “St. Theodolph” in most hymnals.  The Children will introduce the hymn at the 9:45 service and the 11:00 service on Sunday, March 28 by presenting a mini-cantata called “The Singing Bishop”.  As the finale to the musical we will sing the familiar hymn.  Preparation for this will take place during our regular Wednesday evening Children’s Choir rehearsals.
The Second event will be the annual Good Friday Tenebrae service of music, light and readings.  Following the Ash Wednesday Service, we begin Lent, rehearsals to prepare for Good Friday will take place on Thursday evenings from 8:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and also on Sunday mornings, from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m..  This arrangement is to allow those who cannot attend a rehearsal on Thursday evenings, to come on Sunday mornings, right after the first service and before the second service.  The focus this year will be on the time in Jesus’ life/death after he was taken from the cross and the period of time we call Holy Saturday, or Great Sabbath, when Jesus rested in the grave, prior to the resurrection.
