Holy Week services

Community Holy Week Services will be held Monday through Friday, March 17-21, at various churches throughout Lincoln County.

The services will begin at 12 noon, with lunch served by the host church each day at 12:30 p.m.

The host churches, along with the designated speakers, are as follows:

.. Monday - Lincolnton United Methodist Church, Rev. Keith Etheridge, pastor of Double Branches Baptist Church.

.. Tuesday - Double Branches Baptist Church, Rev. Russell Davis, pastor of New Work Baptist Church.

.. Wednesday - St. Paul UMC, Rev. Addison Belangia, pastor of Faith Temple.

.. Thursday (Communion) - First Assembly of God, Rev. Lanis Lewis, co-pastor of the church.

.. Friday - Lincolnton Baptist Church, Rev. Paul Reviere, pastor of Tabor Baptist Church.

Residents of the community are encouraged to be present at each service as the Christian Church remembers the last week of Jesus Christ's life on earth and thereby prepares itself for the celebration of Easter.

Sponsored by the Lincoln County Ministerial Association, these services will provide a meaningful time of worship and fellowship for the residents of the county.

The offering received each day will be used for benevolent works in the community. Canned food will also be collected at each service to help stock the shelves of the Lincoln County Food Pantry.
