Midweek Lent Worship at First Lutheran Church

Silent Witnesses

There were many witnesses to the events which took place on that hill outside Jerusalem 2000 years ago. An angry crowd gathered to be certain that their verdict of “guilty” be carried out in the sentence of death by crucifixion.

A small group of the condemned man’s followers milled about the crowd; still in shock over the injustice being meted out, many of them kept their identity secret to protect themselves from a similar fate.

Some had to be there---those responsible for tending to the necessary tasks which went along with an execution.

But there were other witnesses there as well, witnesses we don’t usually think about, although they were even closer to the events than the crowd. In fact, they actually participated in those events in unique ways. They are the Silent Witnesses. If only these things could speak! What might they tell us about the events from their viewpoint?

Throughout this Lenten Season we will be given the opportunity to hear from them!

Please join us at First Lutheran Church, 641 Second Ave N., Glasgow, for Lenten Worship every Thursday until April 7. Worship service will begin at 5:30pm with a soup supper following at 6:15pm.
