reservations necessary. 
Breakfast will be served from 9:00
to 9:30 a.m.  Mark and Cheryl Wells will be leading a team
of volunteers in producing a plentiful meal.



 



At 10:30 a.m.,
with cheers of He is risen! and Alleluia!, all will gather in the
flower-filled sanctuary for the celebration of the Resurrection of the
Lord.  The church’s pastor, the Rev.
Roderick MacDonald, will offer a brief message of faith on the theme.  Glorious music will express the joy of new
life, featuring the Chancel Choir and a brass quartet, as well as
congregational hymns including the traditional singing of “Lord of the Dance,”
and concluding with trumpet and choir singing the “Hallelujah Chorus” from
Handel’s Messiah. 



 



Children are a vital part of the church, and all ages will be
welcome in the sanctuary for this family-friendly time of worship.  The nursery will be available for parents
needing to make use of it with their children.



 



Other special observances for Holy Week include a Maundy
Thursday service of Holy Communion
, which recalls Jesus’ last supper with
his disciples, Thursday, April 17 at
7:30 p.m.
  On Good Friday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m., there is a vigil service, during which various parts of the Passion story of
Jesus are read, and candles gradually extinguished until the sanctuary is in
darkness.  Time for quiet meditation and
prayer follows each reading.



 



New and longtime friends from the community are invited to these
events.  The church is committed to
welcoming the believing and the seeking,
the questioning and the doubting, God’s children of every background and
lifestyle.



 



The church is located at 335 Cambridge Street, at the intersection
with Wilmington Road.
 For more information, call the church
office at 781-272-9190 or email burlpres@aol.com.   All are invited to visit the church’s
