The ancient title for this day, the triumph of the cross, reminds us that the church gathers not to mourn this day but to celebrate Christ’s life-giving passion and to find strength and hope in the tree of life. This service is part of a three-day observance that culminates in the Easter Vigil tomorrow evening. The sermon this evening will be delivered by Associate College Pastor Katherine Fick and will be assisted by College Pastor Matthew Marohl. Cantor to the Student Congregation, James Bobb, will assist.
