As you can guess, the Holy week and Easter are the most exciting week of the year in churches: of course, at Floris! Have you had a chance to see “Holy week and Easter” announcement? What a week we will have! I am very excited about sharing this with you all.
From Palm Sunday (April 1st), we enter the Holy week that last week of Lent. I could tell you that you don’t want to miss the opportunities to walk through the journey on the Holy week because it leads you to celebrate true Easter. It gives indescribable joy on Easter morning that I could promise. We will start praising Jesus by children’s praising “Hosanna!” on the Palm Sunday. As you all know, there will be Lenten Cantata called “The Lenten Sketches” on Good Friday night service. The Floris Orchestra and choir will lift up deeply worshipful cantata. This cantata will lead us to have a portrait of God’s grace that showed on the Holy week thoroughly with meditative words and beautiful music. We have been working hard and praying deeply not only may the Lord be glorified through the worship service but also may we have experience of His presence to transform us throughout the service. Please invite your friends and neighbors who especially need to meet our Savior, Jesus. You never know how God will work through your invitations to others. He works miraculously through our actions.
On Easter morning, we will start from “Sunrise” service at 6:15, and Hallelujah chorus will be lifted up throughout all morning services at 8:00, 9:15, and 11:00. There will be a fanfare of brass that will lead us to the Easter hymn “Christ, the Lord is risen today”. Also a special Easter anthem “Risen today” will be sung by the Easter choir.
Now, you can guess how we praise and worship Him! We will use all our talents and breath to proclaim “He is Risen, indeed!” Are you ready? I am surely ready.
May the Spirit of the Lord be upon you and your family through this incredible experience of Praise and worship on the Holy week and Easter!
Here is lyric of Palm Sunday anthem. Enjoy!
Behold, The King of Zion Comes
Behold, the King of Zion comes, the promise is fulfilled.
The visions seen by prophet eyes, to all is now in truth, revealed, to all is now revealed.
From age to age the people prayed and searched the Eastern sky. Rejoice! Rejoice! The time has come. Redemption draweth nigh. Redemption draweth nigh.
Hosanna, hosanna! Hosanna to the King! O blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Lift up your heads, ye ancient doors. Fling open wide, ye gates. Open ye gates neath chapels made of palms and praise. Your King rides humbly on to reign.
Behold, the King of Zion comes. The promise is fulfilled.
