HOLY WEEK & EASTER WORSHIP
Palm Sunday: Mar. 29, 11 AM Worship
With cries of “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna, in the highest,” the morning’s worship will begin with the traditional Procession of Palms and branches. We invite all the children to lead the congregation in the Procession, remembering that the shouts of Hosanna mark Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem, the week we commemorate as Holy Week. We recall that, while we describe this procession as triumphal, the word Hosanna is the Hebrew word meaning Save us, we pray. For that is exactly for what the people who are greeting Jesus are begging. These people live in poverty and on the edges. They are oppressed by the Roman rulers and religious leaders. Deliver us! is their plea.
Maundy Thursday: Apr. 2, 6 PM in Fellowship Hall(downstairs)
This day begins the Three Days (or Triduum), remembering the new commandment that Christ gave us in word and deed as he taught us how to love one another, washing our feet as a servant. We also celebrate the Lord’s Supper, remembering the meal Christ shared with his disciples before his death.
Join us in Fellowship Hall at 6 PM for a simple dinner of soup and bread during which we will remember the servant heart of Jesus. Holy Communion will be celebrated as part of this time together.
Good Friday: Apr. 3, 7 PM in the Sanctuary
Good Friday is a solemn and sacred day, marking the culmination of Jesus’ Passion. It is a time of deep reflection and prayer. This evening, we will read the Story of the Passion from the Gospel of John. As we stand with Jesus, alongside the women, we pray for ourselves, our community, and the whole world. We gather and depart in silent promise that the tree around which we assemble is The Tree of Life.
Easter Sunday: Apr. 5, 11 AM Worship
“This is the day that God has made. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!” We gather this morning with Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome to proclaim, witness, praise, and affirm that Christ, in his resurrection, has conquered swallowed up death forever. The beloved Hallelujah Chorus will be performed by our choir with guests invited to join!
Easter Brunch is served! 9 to 10:30 AM
Easter Egg Hunt for all children at 10:30 AM
If you haven’t already, pick up and fill some plastic eggs and come experience our children’s excitement.
