John Rutter's "Requiem"
The Ainsworth Choir
| |
|
Each year we enter the season of Eastertide with a new opportunity to contemplate how Christ's resurrection has become the hope on which we rely when the lives of those we love reach their end. The Ainsworth Choir will celebrate Eastertide and provide a musical opportunity to rejoice in the promise of resurrection when they present British composer John Rutter's "Requiem" during the worship service on Sunday April 16. Using a combination of liturgical texts and scripture, Maestro Rutter has created a beautiful musical backdrop for the consideration of our reliance on God for peace and eternal rest. Please join us at 11:00 on Sunday, when the reassuring words, "I am the resurrection and the life," will take on an enhanced meaning as the beautiful voices of the Ainsworth Choir, the sounds of a professional chamber orchestra, and the perfect acoustic of the Mulberry Sanctuary combine to create a renewed sense of hope.

World Upside Down: a Bible Study on Acts
Sundays from 5:30-7:00 pm in the Conference Room,
Beginning April 16
In this class, led by Payton, we will explore the first half of Acts! We will discuss how the death and resurrection of Jesus ushers in a new way of life grounded in the work of the Holy Spirit; this work of the Spirit through God’s people (the Church) turns the “world upside down” (17:6) as the earliest Christians proclaimed that Jesus was King of Kings and lived out this truth together as the Church. We will examine the major events (Jesus’ Ascension, Pentecost, the Jerusalem Council), the major players (Peter, Paul, James, the Ethiopian Eunuch), and how their stories intersect ours today. We hope you’ll join us for this exciting study!
