Easter at FBC Duluth

You and your family and guests

are cordially invited

to a glorious Resurrection Sunday service

at First Baptist Church of Duluth

on Sunday, April 20th, 2014

10:50 a.m.

Christ

risen

indeed!

As a part of congregational worship, our FBC Duluth Adult Choir, Soloists, Orchestra, and Narrators will be sharing the victorious Easter musical, “Glorious Day” during the Easter morning service, followed by Pastor Mark Hearn’s sermon, the second in his two part sermon series, “Grace Changes Everything”. The theme of being changed through the miraculous power of God’s grace, as shown to all of mankind in the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, will be evident throughout the entire worship service. From the congregational singing, media, and baptisms to the message of the music and the message of the word, there will be a constant focus upon the power of transformation through God’s grace and Jesus’ victory.

Here is the description of the Easter Musical, “Glorious Day!’ from the publisher (Word Music):

“The Easter story is ultimately about changed lives – ordinary people transformed forever by the mercy of a cross and the victory of an empty tomb.
This is the powerful theme of “Glorious Day”, an impactful new musical from Word that looks at Jesus’ life through the eyes of those He touched. Featuring the dynamic messages of songs from Casting Crowns and Aaron Shust, along with new poignant character-specific songs from Lee Black and Gina Boe, “Glorious Day” will speak directly to the heart of each individual in your congregation. Marty Hamby has expertly arranged this musical, and Deborah Craig-Claar has written a beautifully-crafted two-person narration that recounts the stories of calling the disciples, the adulterous woman, and different miracles, in addition to the key events of the Passion week. “Glorious Day!” will be an unforgettable experience for your church and community.”

Songs in “Glorious Day!” include:

1. “Risen Today” ~ Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Aaron Shust, Charles Wesley)

2. “Behold the Lamb” ~ Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Lee Black, Gina Boe)

3. “Follow” ~ Soloist Sam Seaborne, with Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Lee Black, Gina Boe)

4. “The Voice of Grace” ~ Soloist Jennifer Jones, with Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Lee Black, Gina Boe)

5. “Our Eyes Have Seen the Glory” ~ Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Lee Black, Gina Boe)

6. “Save Us” (In The Name of the Lord) ~ Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Lee Black, Gina Boe)

7. “Glorious Day” (Living He Loved Me) ~ Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Chapman, Hall, and Bleecker of Casting Crowns)

8. “Glorious” with “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” ~ Full Choir and Orchestra
(written by Aaron Shust, Black, Staton, West, and Wesley)

Our FBCD Music and Worship Minister, Travis L. Boyd, will be directing the music, and our Narrators will be Becky Akana and Mark LaCoursiere.

In addition to our wonderful FBCD Adult Choir and FBCD Orchestra members, our Rhythm Section, and our Tech Crew, Travis would like to thank our rehearsal (and performance) accompanists, Karen Johnson and Kimberly Hawkins, for their work during both Sunday and Wednesday rehearsal times and for all of the additional rehearsal that was needed. Thenk you to everyone for your work since January to prepare to share the message of hope in Christ that is found in “Glorious Day!”

We appreciate the support of our Pastor, Ministerial Staff, Support Staff, and Church Family for FBCD Worship Ministries, and we pray that this coming Resurrection Sunday and “Glorious Day!” will be a blessed time of worship and celebration, as we rejoice in the victory of our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
