The Holy Week celebrations at the Highland Avenue Church of the Brethren begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 21 with the annual Maundy Thursday Love Feast.

This is a reenactment of the Last Supper with foot washing, a common “Agape” meal, and the sharing of bread and cup in communion. The Adult Choir will sing and child care will be provided.

Then Holy Week continues with a Good Friday worship at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, which will include music of TaizÃ© and Tenebrae themes. Again the Adult Chioir will sing and child care will be provided.

The 9:30 a.m. Easter Sunday morning service will feature a sermon by Pastor Joel Kline titled “A Resurrection People (Blessed are those who are persecuted for my name's sake).”

There will be an Easter Egg Hunt for the children at 11:30 a.m. after a shortened Sunday school time.

The church is at 783 W. Highland Ave. in Elgin.
