Celebrations of the Season
By: Claranette Wilson
The Greentown Ministerial
Association ( GMA) will sponsor a
community Good Friday service in the
Performing Arts Center at Eastern High
School April 13th at 7: OOpm.
In past years this service was rotated
among the area churches. The center
brings excitement and anticipation to
gather in a community facility with
more space and extra lighting. Rev.
Don Dexheimer, chairman, says this is
a new experience as they work together
to develop a meaningful service that
will make an impact on our entire
Easter celebration. There will be a
series of sixteen scripture lessons that
tell the story of Christ's passion.
Dramatic readings by the pastors, a
variety of music and candle lighting
will enhance our knowledge of the love
of Christ. Rev. Dexheimer said " We
want to convey a message so people
can truly experience a time of worship
and receive a deeper relationship with
Christ or a brand new relationship with
Him. We trust that when they leave the
