SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday Service
DESCRIPTION:Soliloquy of the Twelve\nOn this night\, Jesus knelt to wash dusty feet. He broke bread with friends and strangers. Immerse yourself in Holy Week with this sacred Maundy Thursday re-enactment. We will hear the stories of Jesus’ followers as they try to make sense of the accusation that one of them will be betray Him. \n\nCall for Actors\n\nIs It You? Seeking Actors for Maundy Thursday\, March 28\nEvery other year First UMC presents a re-enactment of the last supper on Maundy Thursday. We’re looking for 12 men to portray the 12 disciples. As a disciple of Jesus\, you sit in the pose of DaVinci’s “Last Supper” painting\, and one by one each disciple delivers a short soliloquy of what may have been their thoughts as Jesus says one of them will betray him. The soliloquies do not have to be memorized\, but learning it well will certainly help in your delivery. Want to learn more? Contact Susan Kimball\, 517-376-2215\, susan@brightonfumc.org

DESCRIPTION:Pastor Jon Reynolds leads this five-week book study. Are you curious about what the Bible has to say about human sexuality and why people understand it differently?

SUMMARY:Unclobber Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Pastor Jon Reynolds leads this five-week book study. Are you curious about what the Bible has to say about human sexuality and why people understand it differently? The book “UnClobber” re-examines six frequently quoted passages of Scripture — often called the “clobber passages.” The author invites us to look closely at what the Bible says (and does not say) about homosexuality in such a way that breathes fresh life into assumptions and interpretations.\n\nRegister online
