On Good Friday, Christians remember Christ’s sacrificial love for all in crucifixion. To commemorate the day, pastors and parishioners from many local churches will participate in a joint Good Friday service, April 19, at 12:15 pm at Union Church.
Remembering that Jesus washed the feet of those with whom he served, ministers from the Berea Ministerial Association are organizing a foot care mini-clinic especially for those who are experiencing homelessness or disabilities making foot care difficult. Volunteers will wash feet, trim nails and provide non-medical assistance, new socks, and a small foot care kit to any in need.
Participants in the Good Friday service are invited to help create foot care kits that will include:
- Small wash cloth
- Nail trimmers
- 1 pair of cotton athletic socks
- Band aids in multiple sizes
- Small bottle of lotion/balm
- Small bar of soap
All participants in the service can assist in assembling the kits. Those wishing to donate materials from the above list are asked to bring them to First Christian Church, or to the Good Friday Service.
The Berea Ministerial Association includes representatives, clergy and lay, active and retired, from southern Madison County. They formed and continue to support the Food Bank, Bereans United for Utility and Rent Relief, and the Frank Gailey Transient Aid Fund through “Berea Faith Community Outreach (BFCO).” A freewill offering to benefit BFCO will be taken or may be sent to 108 Parkway Ave, Berea, KY 40403.
