HOLY WEEK PREVIEW: CROSSING OVER FROM DEATH TO LIFE

April 10, PALM/PASSION SUNDAY After being on “hold” for two pandemic years we are back live for Holy Week, beginning with the Palm/Passion Sunday.  Weather permitting, we’ll meet on the westside patio for the Liturgy of the Palms, and then processing to the sanctuary for the remainder of the service.  Following the children’s message, we’ll shift to the Liturgy of the Passion as we hear the Passion Story according to St. Luke, read by four voices.

April 14, MAUNDY THURSDAY @ 7pm Our Lenten journey comes to a conclusion during Holy Week as we mark Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.  This year’s Maundy Thursday service will take place, as in recent years, in the chancel.  Footwashing will not be part of this year’s service, but Holy Communion will.  Consider joining us for this intimate service marking the final meal Jesus shared with his disciple community.

April 15, GOOD FRIDAY @ 7pm  On Good Friday we gather with the church throughout the world around the cross of Christ.  His cross comes into our midst both as the sign of God’s solidarity with all human suffering and as a symbol of God’s triumph over sin, death, and evil.  Standing with women disciples at the foot of the cross, we pray for the whole world in the ancient bidding prayer, as Christ’s death offers life to all.  This service will take place in the chancel.
