Oak Ridge Presbyterian Church recently issued the following announcement.
Its Friday now, but Sunday’s coming.
S.M. Lockridge
April 12, 2020 is an Easter we will always remember. How do we celebrate Easter in a pandemic? How do we worship during stay at home orders? As we continue to live the new normal of COVID-19, our plans have been changed, but Sunday is still coming.
We invite you in this new normal to worship virtually with us this week.
Wednesday - Devotion
6:45 pm - Facebook
Devotion, with Taylor Austin
Thursday - Maundy Thursday Service
7:00 pm - Facebook Premier*
A Tenebrae service led by four pastors- myself, Charlie Lee, Starmount; Kim Priddy, Sedgefield; and Jay Smith, Jamestown. Music by Elizabeth and Jorge Ochoa.
*The service is pre-recorded but streamed on Facebook at the designated time.
Saturday - Flower the Cross
You are invited to place flowers on the cross on Saturday. Please observe all social distancing rules. This is meant to be an meditative experience as we experience the death of Jesus.
Sunday - Easter Sunrise Service
7 am - Facebook Live
Join us Sunday morning for a short service.
Sunday - Easter Celebration and Communion
10 am - Facebook Live
Connect on Facebook for our Easter Celebration. We will celebrate communion virtually together. If you have time, you can bake bread from one of the two recipes below (leavened and unleavened). Think about having a small piece of bread or crackers along with a small cup of juice, wine, or even water.
Sunday - Butterflies
After 11:15 am
People who have reserved their butterflies can pick up the butterflies from a masked and gloved staff member in the circular driveway near the playground. You will take your butterfly home and release it.

It may be Friday now, but Sunday’s coming. Easter has never depended on us. The promise of the resurrection of Jesus is a gift from God. Celebrate this amazing promise with us this Holy Week.
