Churches Post Easter Weekend Activities

Local churches will host a variety of events for Easter weekend, beginning with a Living Last Supper service on Maundy Thursday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. at Conestoga United Methodist Church (UMC), 71 Sand Hill Road, Conestoga. Men from area churches - including Safe Harbor, Colemanville and Conestoga United Methodist churches and Live With Purpose Church - will portray Jesus and His disciples eating their final Passover meal together. The Rev. Richard J. Rimert Jr. and a second person will read the script, which is based on Mark 14:12-26. The narrators will describe each man and how he was called to ministry. The Living Last Supper will also include Communion, led by the actor portraying Jesus, and attendees will be invited to partake. Glutenfree wafers will be available. The goal of the Living Last Supper is to make a key part of the Easter story real to attendees. Organizers hope that attendees will learn about the disciples and think about which disciple they are most like.

On Good Friday, April 15, at 7:30 p.m., a Tenebrae service will be held at Safe Harbor United Methodist Church (UMC), 3687 River Road, Conestoga, where Rimert also serves as pastor.

An Easter egg hunt will take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 16, at Conestoga UMC. The hunt will be held rain or shine.

On Easter Sunday, April 17, a sunrise service will be held at 7 a.m. across the road from Safe Harbor UMC at a neighbor’s farm. The farm contains an old lime kiln that looks like the open mouth of a tomb. Attendees should bring chairs. After the service, a hot breakfast will be served in the church’s fellowship hall. The service will be held indoors if it is raining.

Worship services will be held on Easter at Safe UMC at 9 a.m. and at Conestoga UMC at 10:30 a.m.

Many of these events are returning after being discontinued or downsized because of COVID for the past few years.
