Tre Ore Service


On a grey day in San Antonio (no rain, though) Charles took the day off from work and so we we were blessed by two worship services.

At noon, the "Tre Ore," or "Three Hours" service began at Laurel Heights UMC

This was a very moving service that observed the passion of Christ. This 3-hour service featured a series of segments framed around the seven last words, or phrases, of Christ upon the cross. It combined instrumental, choral and congregational music with silence, prayers, and praise.

Musical offerings were provided by the Chancel Choir and a guest violinist, Andrew Small. Geoffrey Waite, the director of music at Laurel Heights, provided some amazing selections on the organ.
