UPCOMING EVENTS
Holy Week and Easter Schedule
Palm Sunday: April 2nd
Traditional at 9:00am
Modern at 11:00am
These powerful services are a reminder of the splendor and joy expressed with Christ's triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. The crowds waved palm branches and proclaimed, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" As we worship together, we will reflect as our hearts reverently turn from a spirit of jubilance as we are reminded of the events of the week ahead. Join us as we begin Holy Week together and remember Christ's journey to the cross.
Modern Holy Week Service: April 5th
7:00pm in Pratt Hall
Our first Modern Holy Week Service promises to be a dynamic experience, as we come together to reflect on the solemn days of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. We are excited to share this meaningful and reflective time with our community, and hope that it will deepen our understanding of the Easter story.
Maundy Thursday: April 6th
7:00pm in the Sanctuary
Maundy is an old English word that is derived from the Latin mandatum meaning "mandate." At this service, we will hear Jesus' mandate from the Gospel of John: "A new commandment I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another." We will commemorate the Last Supper recalling the evening meal Jesus shared with his disciples.
Good Friday: April 7th
7:00pm in the Sanctuary
A Tenebrae service is one of the oldest traditions of the Christian Church in celebration of Holy Week. From the Latin word meaning shadows, the service of Tenebrae presents the story of Jesus' passion, and as it unfolds~ the symbolic candles are extinguished and the worship space is darkened to remember the death of our Lord.
