Gathering as a Worshiping Community Holy Week/Easter

Sunday April 9 Palm Sunday Services 8 and 10am

Jesus enters Jerusalem – who are we among the crowd?

How can we regain our Alleluias if we don’t first face our hurts?

Wednesday April 12 Tenebrae 7pm

This 45-minute service takes us through scripture readings and the gradual extinguishing of candles to open us to the gift Jesus offers when we turn our hearts back to God.

Thursday April 13 Maundy Thursday Eucharist 7pm

A Service that helps us re-live Jesus’ final night. Entering into the Foot Washing and Eucharist, the betrayal and finally the Stripping of the Altar –a symbolic re-enactment of Jesus’ body being stripped and prepared for burial.

Friday April 14 Stations of the Cross Noon

This 45-minute walking meditation (in church) takes us through the “14 Stations” – the journey down the Via Delarosa in Jerusalem that Jesus walked from his prison cell to his Cross. Oh, what love he has for us!

Good Friday Liturgy 7pm

Hear once more the Passion Narrative (Jesus’ betrayal, trial, and crucifixion). Reflect on all those betrayals and hurts of your own and lay them at the foot of the Cross. Eucharist from the Reserved Sacraments

Saturday April 15 Easter Vigil 7pm

This is the COMPLETE experience of Easter – beginning in the dark with a candlelight vigil, hearing the stories of God’s love for us, and then LIGHTS UP as we celebrate the first Easter of the season!

Sunday April 16 Ecumenical Sunrise Service 6:30am
