Covenant’s 100th Easter Celebration was indeed joyous. Following Communion and foot/hand washing on Holy Thursday and two solemn and contemplative services on Good Friday, Covenant’s Holy Week ended with powerful music, bells, and a retelling of the Resurrection from John’s Gospel. The first “normal” Easter Sunday since the beginning of the Pandemic saw more than 170 people worshiping in-person and online. There were many tears and hugs as members and visitors joined together in an uplifting service that ended with the traditional Hallelujah Chorus. Watch the service below.
