Fayette gets ready to celebrate Easter

With Easter just a few days away, Christian churches all over the south side are winding down their Lenten activities and preparing for the holiest day on the Christian calendar, Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Holy Week began last Sunday with the celebration of Palm Sunday, remembering Jesuss triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As the week wears on, events get more somber, leading to Good Friday and the Crucifixion, and eventually the glory and joyous celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

The following churches in the Fayette-Coweta area have announced their Holy Week and Easter activities:

All Saints Anglican Church will continue Holy Week with Stations of the Cross Wednesday, April 1, at 6 p.m.

Tomorrow evening, the Maundy Thursday service at 7 p.m. will feature foot washing and Holy Communion. Following the service, a 12-hour prayer vigil will be held from 8:30 p.m. Thursday until 8:30 a.m. Friday morning.

The Good Friday service will be held at 7 p.m. that evening.

Holy Saturday, April 4, will begin with morning prayer at 9 a.m., followed by an Easter egg hunt and family picnic from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Easter Sunday will begin with a sunrise service at 6:30 a.m. and conclude with the Easter Sunday worship service at 10:30 a.m.

All Saints is at 149 Ebenezer Rd., Fayetteville, just east of Peachtree City. For More Information call 770-486-5374 or http://www.ptcanglican.org
