This service dramatically marks the last words of Jesus on the cross, with Scripture, music, sights, and sounds. Celebrate Easter with two different morning services on Easter Sunday, April 12. At 8:30 a.m., the Service of Holy Communion begins with the Lighting of Lights for the dawning of Easter and the reaffirmation of Baptismal vows. The sanctuary will be illuminated in brightness as the Easter observance begins. At 9:30 a.m. there is a continental breakfast for all in the Fellowship Hall.

A cameraman gets injured by a football player during a game and goes to the hospital. There, his cunning brother in law (who happens to be a lawyer) convinces him to pretend his legs have been paralyzed. This way, they can receive a huge indemnity from the insurance company.

This movie stars Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, and Basil Rathbone. In 1820, the son of a California nobleman comes home from Spain to find his native land under a villainous dictatorship.

Rick comes into the possession of two valuable letters of transit. Meanwhile, Nazi Major Strasser arrives in Casablanca, and Police Captain Renault does what he can to please him, including detaining Czech underground leader Victor Laszlo. Much to Rick’s surprise, Lazslo arrives with Ilsa, Rick’s one time love. Rick is very bitter towards Ilsa, who ran out on him in Paris, but when he learns she had good reason to, they plan to run off together again. “Rear Window” (1955) is the feature presentation on April 23. This Alfred Hitchcock classic stars James Stewart, Grace Kelly, and Raymond Burr. An adven-
turesome freelance photographer finds himself confined to a wheelchair in his tiny apartment while a broken leg mends in New York during the 1950s.

He enlists the help of his society model girlfriend and his nurse. On Thursday, April 30, the movie will be “Arsenic and Old Lace” (1944), directed by Frank Capra. This film stars Cary Grant, Josephine Hull, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre, Priscilla Lane, Jack Carson, and James Gleason. For the clan known as Brewster, insanity runs in the family.
