Resurrection and “Easter” services take place multiple times throughout the holy weekend to honor the sacrifice Jesus made with His life for our salvation. One of the things great we look forward to the most is the celebration in song. Whether it is Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday, or “Easter” Monday, we can always count on hearing one of these Gospel staples. If you are not familiar with them, we strongly encourage you to click the links and enjoy these classics during this season and throughout the year.
