We hope that you will plan to attend the liturgies and activities of Holy Week and Easter Sunday service when we celebrate the risen Christ; please invite your family, friends and neighbors to join us!
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday at 9:15 AM on March 25. Palms will be blessed and distributed. The Passion narrative according to St. Mark will replace the usual Gospel reading. Members of the congregation will be asked to be the voices of the various characters in the story.
Stations of the Cross at noon on Wednesday, March 28, follows the path of Jesus as he carries his cross to Golgotha, the place of his execution. This brief but moving liturgy takes about 30 minutes and includes prayers and scripture readings at each station.
Our Maundy Thursday liturgy will be celebrated at 7:00 PM on March 29. We will join Jesus and his disciples at their last meal together and listen as he gives us a new commandment to love one another. The service includes (optional) foot -washing and the stripping of the altar.
The Good Friday liturgy begins at 12:00 PM on March 30. It includes a reading of the Passion narrative according to St. John, with the congregation taking the part of the crowd; veneration of the cross; and communion from the reserve sacrament that was consecrated on Maundy Thursday.
On April 1, we will celebrate our Risen Lord with a joyous Easter Sunday service at 9:15 AM. The traditional Holy Communion Easter Egg Hunt will follow during coffee hour!
