Holy Week Services Scheduled at Lutheran Church

Holy Week at First Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCA) will mark the end of Lent, leading up to the celebration of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday, April 20. Known by Lutherans, Anglicans and Catholics as the Triduum – or the three days – the first service is Maundy Thursday at 7 p.m. on April 17 at the sanctuary, 1207 W. Cypress Ave. Choral music will be featured as those attending hear the story of Christ’s betrayal and partake of Holy Communion, the sacrament instituted by Christ on the Jewish Passover.At the close of the service, the altar will be stripped in preparation for the next day – Good Friday. The Tenebrae (Service of Darkness) begins at 7 p.m. April 18. It features a cantata by the First Lutheran choir directed by Susan Wade, accompanied by organist/pianist Kim Amin. The service commemorates the final hours of Jesus’ life on earth as he suffered death upon the cross. Saturday, April 19, is considered the third day, commonly called the Easter Vigil, as Christians set aside time for reflection on Christ’s life, his death on a cross and burial. Two services will celebrate Christ’s resurrection on Easter, April 20. A traditional liturgical service with chancel choir and brass accompaniment starts at 8:30 a.m. with Holy Communion celebrated. The service concludes with a sing-along of the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s Messiah. The second service at 10:45 a.m., features the First Lutheran Praise Band directed by Larry Long. Holy Communion will be celebrated at this service as well. “By just coming to church on Easter Sunday, people miss the full impact of Holy Week,” said First Lutheran Pastor Kim Eifert Krogstad. “You can’t have Easter without His death. It’s like a play with three acts. You miss the message if you don’t see the first two acts.” A continental breakfast will be served in the Parish Hall between services, starting at 9:30 a.m. For more information, contact the First Lutheran Church office at 909-793-2267 or visit the website at www.firstlutheranredlands.org.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.
