Aurora, Ill., April 7, 2006 (The Religion Wire™ ) — To celebrate Holy Week and the resurrection of Jesus, First Presbyterian Church of Aurora, 325 E. Downer Place, is offering the Fox Valley community several opportunities for fellowship and worship.

The Rev. Mateen Elass, senior pastor of Immanuel Presbyterian Church of Warrenville, will be the featured speaker at a morning Holy Week Series at FPC. The daily morning gatherings (6:30 a.m. & 9:00 a.m.) will look at the life of Jesus.

The community is invited to bring their family and friends to witness this powerfully moving presentation. Performances are in the church’s sanctuary: Maundy Thursday, April 13 at 7:00 p.m., and Good Friday, April 14 at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Communion will be served. Admission is free.
