This video is a traditional EASTER WORSHIP SERVICE with a TWIST. Instead of beginning the service with a joyous atmosphere, the sanctuary is instead darkened, there is no organ playing, and the communion table is shrouded in black netting. No lights and no candles are lit. We begin the service as if we were coming to the tomb with Mary Magdalen, expecting death. A violin plays passion hymns. Then the lights are turned up, the shroud is lifted from the communion table, revealing candles and flowers and Easter begins! Communion is celebrated.
