Enjoy Henderson Holy Week Services 2021 at hendersonholyweek.com

A group of local churches is joining together to sponsor a series of virtual noontime Holy Week services, all of which are open to the community.

First Baptist, First Presbyterian, First United Methodist, Shiloh, Cotton Memorial and Holy Innocents have shared Holy Week services and lunches for many years, and the tradition continues – sort of.

This year, the services will be livestreamed at www.hendersonholyweek.com, according to Dr. Ronald S. Cava, senior minister at First Baptist Church. Although last year’s events were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the churches have had time to prepare an alternative to in-person services.

“While we still cannot have a physical gathering and share lunches, we will have services this year,” Cava said in a written statement to WIZS.

All services Monday, March 29 through Friday, April 2 at 12 noon will be live streamed and will include scripture readings, homilies, and special music.

Community Holy Week worship services will be hosted at the First Baptist Church, on the corner of Winder and Wyche Streets, April 26 – 30, 2018 at 12:00 noon. Services are sponsored by downtown congregations including Church of the Holy Innocents, Cotton Memorial Presbyterian, First Baptist, First Presbyterian, First United Methodist, and Shiloh Baptist churches. These congregations continue a decades long tradition of unity and partnership during this high and holy week of the Christian year.

Ministers and musicians from these congregations will lead a 30-minute worship each day, followed by a light lunch in the FBC Fellowship Hall. There is no cost and the public is welcomed and encouraged to attend. An offering will be received each day, with all proceeds going to support Community Partners of Hope and Lifeline Ministries. Please call First Baptist Church at (252)438-3172 for further information.
