Historically when observed, The Great Vigil of Easter, is the first service of Easter. Rev. Quine invites you to join him as he ‘keeps vigil’ from sunset on Saturday to sunrise on Easter Sunday. Throughout the evening you are invited to come and go as you please. The vigil is an adaptation of the ancient Paschal Vigil service and consists of four parts: (1) The Service of Light, (2) The Service of the Word, (3) The Service of the Baptismal Covenant, and (4) The Service of the Table. Thus, we celebrate God's saving work in Christ through the symbols of light, word, water, and the heavenly banquet. We will complete our vigil and break our fast with a sunrise service at 6:15 a.m.

Sunrise Service @ 6:15 a.m.

METHODIST CHURCH

302 Broadway – Lincoln

March 29, 2018 - Maundy Thursday Service -

"On the night that Jesus was betrayed..." How many times have you heard those words before Communion on a Sunday morning? Join us on March 29th at 6:30 p.m. as we explore and remember "the night that Jesus was betrayed" by doing the kinds of things he and his followers were doing that very night; eating dinner together, worshipping, and (for the first time) eating the bread and drinking from the cup that symbolized the new work that Jesus was bringing to completion in his death and resurrection. If you'd like to be a part of this night of food, worship, and Communion, please call (217-732-2204) or email the church office (anita.miller@lincolnfirstumc.org) no later than Wednesday, March 28th and let us know the total number of people who will be joining in with you. When you contact us, you'll be assigned a main-dish, side dish, or dessert to bring (and share!) at the potluck style dinner.
