Tuesday morning’s bible study on Mark 14:12-26

Thursday Evening Bible Study, March 26, 2020 March 27, 2020

This week, we started a new study of the Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Colossians. Paul wrote to the Colossian church while in prison awaiting trial in Rome probably about two years before his execution. Paul did not personally plant the Colossian church so this letter represents his personal and theological introduction to them. The letter is known for its “high Christology.” Jesus’ divinity, power, and sovereignty over all creation is one of its main themes.

Wednesday, April 08

  • Tenebrae

    Wednesday, April 08 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
    360 Conklin Ave, Binghamton, NY 13903, USA

    Tenebrae means“shadows” in Latin. It is a service of word, light and sound. When you arrive for worship you will see two groups of candles lit on the altar table. As readings are read the candles on the altar will be gradually extinguished until the very end of the service when the last candle left lit is removed from the worship space and the whole sanctuary is left in darkness. At that point a loud crash will (should) shatter the silence of the sanctuary. Then, after a moment, the last candle is returned to the sanctuary and the worshipers depart in silence. The gradual darkening of the sanctuary and the crashing noise symbolizes the apparent victory of death, darkness, and chaos over Jesus Christ on the cross. The final candle being removed and returned, symbolizes the truth that through Jesus’ death, God gained victory over all the powers of evil. The Light was not overcome.
