Good Friday Service Tonight

This evening, we will remember Christ's crucifixion in a worship service offering reflections on Christ's seven statements from the cross.  (Perhaps some of you read about our service in this morning's top story in the Times West Virginian.)

After an opening hymn, "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded," and the reading of the Man of Sorrows prophecy from Isaiah, seven people from our congregation will each offer meditations on the different statements, such as "I thirst," and "Today you will be with me in paradise."

During tonight's service, we will also join with other congregations in the Fairmont Council of Churches in taking an offering to support The Connecting Link, which provides emergency financial assistance to people in our community.
