Several Central Jersey churches are ushering in Holy Week — the week preceding Easter Sunday — with a variety of new and unusual programs, some of which will tap into entertainment value to plug parishioners into enlightenment.
Concerts, plays and dinners are just a few of the programs on the Christian worship menu this week, along with inventive ways of pursuing prayer.
Celebrate Recovery, the biblical-based 12-step program at Community Christian Chapel,
211 Route 206, Hillsborough,
will follow its 7 p.m. meeting on Good Friday with a concert by Nashville-based Christian rock act Kathleen Carnali
…The combined United Church of Christ/Presbyterian Church USA congregation has set aside the traditional Good Friday Tenebrae and crucifixion pageants to offer a time of reflection, which it also did to start the Lent season on Ash Wednesday.
In addition to walking and praying in the labyrinth, participants will be able to light candles. (Photo credit: MARK R. SULLIVAN/CHIEF PHOTOGRAPHER)
