Church plans services for Lent, Holy Week SOMERS — All are welcome to attend the Wednesday evening contemplative Lenten services at the Congregational Church of Somersville, 22 Maple St. Services are held in the sanctuary at 7 p.m. The Lenten services in March will reflect on the Icon of the Veneration of the Cross (March 7), Icon of the Ladder (March 14); Icon of the Ascetic (March 21). The Maundy Thursday service of
Tenebrae and the Lord's Supper will be held beginning at 7 p.m. in the church's social hall. The service begins with a muchabbreviated Passover Seder meal that we call the Last Supper. The service explains that Christ becomes a new Passover: In sharing the new covenant during the Last Supper, Christ instituted what we call communion as we celebrate the Lord's Supper. This service entails the gradual extin-
guishing of candles as scriptures are read, culminating with the story of Christ's crucifixion and total darkness. The service ends in darkness and silence as we await the bright morning dawn of Easter. A service on Good Friday will be held at noon in the sanctuary. And the Easter morning service will take place on April 1 at 10 a.m. The church is handicapped-accessible; listening devices are available upon request.
