A Celebration of the Resurrection with Trumpets, Anthems, and Sermon

First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia will offer a celebration service of Easter at 10:00 a.m. Sunday, April 4^th.  Easter is the most joyful time of the church year. celebrated against the background of the shadows and darkness of Lent and Holy Week, this season truly becomes a living expression of the hope that God has brought into the world through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Probably the most traditional way of celebrating Easter is through special music and song.  At the First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia, Music Director Catharine Wheat has planned a program of special music.  The Prelude will be “Baroque Alleluia” by Bach and “Rejoicing” by Handel with  trumpet and organ.

The Introit will be “Jubilate Deo” sung by all three choirs of the church from all parts of the sanctuary and accompanied by handbells..  The Senior Choir will sing “Alleluia Christ Is Risen” by Patrick M. Liebergen accompanied by the trumpet and a chorus from Bach’s Cantata No.15 “Be Joyful Together” arranged by Hal H. Hopson

The center of the service will be the sermon by The Reverend Dr. Steven R. Thomas Jr., “Be Glad and Rejoice Forever.”

The Postlude will be “Allegro and Finale by Vivaldi with organ and trumpet.

If you are looking for an open and friendly place to celebrate Easter, Pastor Thomas invites you to worship at the First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia.  Child Care and Sunday School are available during the service.  For more information contact the church at 655-3191
