Then at 11:00 a.m., we’ll gather inside for the Easter Worship Service. First Baptist Church is located on the corner of Salem and Main Streets. “The resurrection story is the Bible’s invitation to trade in our present way of living for one more fulfilling, free, focused, and fortified!” said Maplewood Baptist Church Pastor Gary McClenthen. “The apostle Paul put it this way: ‘We were dead and buried with him (Jesus)..., so that just as he was raised from the dead by that splendid Revelation of the Father’s power (the empty tomb) so we too might rise to life on a new plane altogether.’ Maybe you’ve looked in many places for purpose and peace but have been left empty and needing more. May I encourage you to RSVP to God’s invitation to resurrection living. Join us on Easter Sunday to hear more.” Our Holy Week celebrations begin on Palm Sunday, April 13, with our Palm Sunday Worship Service beginning at 11:00 a.m. Pastor McClenthen will be continuing his Holy Season theme “Resurrection Living.” Later, at 3:00 p.m., First Baptist Malden will host the 37th Annual Ecumenical Palm Sunday Concert, “Olivet to Calvary,” by John Henry Maunder.

On Thursday, April 17, at 7:00 p.m., we will be celebrating the “Last Supper” during our Holy Thursday Service.
