Page 12 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • March 25, 2009 Glen Rock Roundup Mid-week Lenten services offered Good Shepherd Lutheran Church holds its mid-week Lenten Services each Wednesday evening at 7:45 p.m. in the sanctuary during Lent. The next dates are March 25 and April 1. The Lenten service is solemn, with a concentration on the meaning of the journey of Lent. Holy Communion is offered at each service. Lent is a time of reﬂection and penitence in preparation for the celebration of Easter. This year’s theme is “The Prayers of Jesus.” Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will celebrate Palm Sunday on Sunday, April 5 at 10:30 a.m. with a service of Holy Communion. The service begins with the outdoor Blessing of the Palms and procession into the church. The procession music will be a joyous New Orleans upbeat march led by Good Shepherd’s Joyful Noisemakers. During the worship service, there will be a dramatic reading of the Passion according to Saint Mark, with congregational participation. As the tone of the day shifts from the joy of Palm Sunday to the solemnity of the Passion, the recession will reﬂect a New Orleans funeral dirge, again played by brass. For more information about these services, call Pastor Roger Spencer at (20) 444-6598 or visit the web site at www.gs.lthrn.org Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is located at the corner of Rock Road and Ackerman Avenue.
