Christmas Eve Candlelight Service Photo
For our first holiday season in our new building, we gathered together on Christmas Eve at 5pm for a Candlelight service. In a Sanctuary full with Resurrection family and many friends from the community, the service began in darkness as Pastor of Worship Steve Williamson chanted from the Old Testament prophecies of Jesus’ birth and the congregation responded by singing the phrase, “O come, o come Emmanuel.” Then Fr. Stewart announced the birth of Jesus, “Unto us is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord!”

Wheaton Labor Day Parade Float
Church of the Resurrection had a float in the Wheaton Labor Day Parade this morning. The Rez Folk Band played some high energy renditions of "Peace Like a River," "I Saw the Light," and other folk-gospel favorites. It was a fun way to be a part of our Wheaton community and to let folks know that we are moving into downtown Wheaton later this year. Check out some photos below:

2012 Holy Week Photos
Each year Holy Week is a profound time of communal and individual reflection and celebration. It is in the dying to ourselves and rising to new life in Christ that we experience in Holy Week that we learn to walk with the Lord throughout the rest of the year. As you continue to pray through you and your family and friends' experience with the Lord this Holy Week, may these images serve as stones of remembrance of what the Lord has done and is continuing to in his people at Church of the Resurrection.

Tenebrae 2011
This is the third year that we have offered a Wednesday evening service during Holy Week. Tenebrae is an ancient, contemplative service where light is gradually reduced as a candle is extinguished after each Scripture reading and musical response. It was a beautiful opportunity to experience an overview of the story of Holy Week before we plunge into the narrative in detail in the triduum (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).
