Journey through Holy Week

3/22/2023

 
All services are in-person and live streamed to Facebook.

Palm Sunday—April 2 at 10:00 a.m.
This service recalls Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem through music and Holy Eucharist. Please note this liturgy is different from traditional Palm Sunday liturgies, in that the Passion Gospel is not read until Good Friday.

Holy Monday—April 3 at 7:00 p.m.  
This contemplative service of worship in the Taize tradition includes sung and chanted prayer, brief readings, and silence for meditation. 

Holy Tuesday—April 4 at 7:00 p.m. 
A healing service where the community is invited to gather together to offer healing, hope, and thanksgiving. 

Holy Wednesday—April 5 at 7:00 p.m.  
Compline, often referred to as bedtime prayers.

Maundy Thursday—April 6 at 7:00 p.m. 
This service features music, the ceremony of the foot washing, anointing oil, celebration of the institution of the Eucharist, and the stripping of the altar.   

Good Friday - April 7 - any time
Stations of the Cross:  
Our church is open daily for folks to take an intentional meditative walk through our new Stations of the Cross focused on overcoming racism. This Lent we are reflecting on our corporate brokenness, particularly with regard to the climate crisis, gun violence, racial injustice, and economic inequality. It is our hope that this walk will inspire prayer and reflection, much like a Stations of the Cross walk.
​

Good Friday—April 7 at 7:00 p.m. 

This service commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus, and includes a reading of the Passion gospel, music, and solemn prayers.

Easter Vigil—April 8 at 7:00 p.m.  
This service is the primary celebration of Easter, beginning in darkness. The worship features the kindling of new fire, lighting the Paschal candle, the Exsultet, music, readings from the Hebrew Scriptures, the renewal of our baptismal vows, and the Eucharist.

​Easter Sunday—April 9 at 10:00 a.m.
A celebration of Christ’s resurrection with music and Holy Eucharist, followed by an Easter egg hunt on the lawn.
