Ecumenical Holy Week series continues

NORMAN — Since 1963, Christian men of many denominations have gathered at 6:30 a.m. every Wednesday at McFarlin Methodist Church in Norman for a men’s prayer breakfast.

The group’s ecumenical Holy Week program will continue this year on March 26, with Joe Sanders, A United Methodist, set to introduce Judge Bill Hetherington, an Episcopalian, as guest speaker.

The Rev. James Goins, pastor St. Thomas More Catholic Church, will serve as host on March 27, and Judge Steve Bonner, who is Catholic, will be guest speaker. Joe Dufran, a United Methodist, will host on March 28, introducing the Rev. Linda Harker, McFarlin United Methodist’s senior pastor, as guest speaker.

Stan Ward, a United Methodist, will host on March 29, introducing his nephew Judge Thad Balkman, a Mormon, as guest speaker. Emily Allan, United Methodist and third-year law student, will host on March 30 and introduce her uncle, Dr. Mark Wood, who is an elder at Henderson Hills Baptist Church in Edmond.

The free breakfast will be served about 5 a.m., and the program will start at 6:30 p.m. with a song and devotion.

“Christian churches may be organized differently, have different rituals, baptize differently and pray differently. But, whatever road they travel, they all join together and end up at the same belief at Easter,” said Preston A. Trimble, one of the men who was part of the original prayer breakfast on Easter Week 1963.
