Those from around the denomination are welcome to join with others on the district\u2019s YouTube channel as it premiers, or view it later as the service will remain on YouTube through Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service will be in both English and Spanish, with captions in the alternate language so that all may participate. Attendees are encouraged to prepare to participate in the service by having ready a bowl of water to touch during the footwashing, a simple snack for the symbolic meal, and bread and juice for communion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service includes musical pieces from the La Verne and Principe de Paz congregations, video images of footwashing, and leadership by pastors and youth from around the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The district\u2019s YouTube Channel is at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC_9v4N-GBE6UCUENoAylf_g\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC_9v4N-GBE6UCUENoAylf_g\">www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC_9v4N-GBE6UCUENoAylf_g<\/a>.
