2012 Easter Celebrated with Holy Communion and Special Performance "The Name of Love, Jesus Christ"
Easter is a Christian feast commemorating the resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God who came to the Earth in flesh; was crucified on the wooden cross to save mankind from sins; shattered the authority of death on the third day after His burial; and resurrected.
Easter is a blessed day for Christians because they came to have hope for the blessing of resurrection and eternal life by believing in the Lord who is the first fruits of the resurrection. During the Passion Week, Manmin members had a quiet and great time remembering the love of God towards all mankind and the Lord's obedience, sufferings of the cross, and death.
On April 7, the day before Easter, the Performing Arts Committee, under the Chairperson, Pastor Heejin Lee, gave the Easter Performance entitled 'The Name of Love, Jesus Christ' during the second half of Friday All-night Service. The performance depicted Jesus' ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension through the apostle Paul's reminiscence. It was a precious time to deeply engrave the meaning of the resurrection.
On April 8, the Sunday Morning Service was offered as the Easter Thanksgiving Service. In the service, Pastor Dongcho Shin, delivered the message with the title of "The Life of Resurrection." During Sunday Evening Service the President of Pastors' Association, Pastor Soojin Lee, preached the message under the title of "Eternal Life" and led Holy Communion. The church members gave thanks to the Lord for His love eating the bread and drinking the grape juice.
Catechism and a Baptism Ceremony were also held on March 25 and April 1 respectively. Women's Mission leaders delivered the love of the Lord giving Easter eggs to people in public offices, schools, and offices around the church. Each mission of the church had a time to share decorated eggs for Easter in celebration of the resurrection of the Lord.
