Maundy Thursday
2026-04-02 19:00 - 20:00 | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
We remember Jesus celebrating the Lord’s Supper with his disciples, his washing their feet as an example to us of serving one another, and his commandment to them to “Love one another as I have loved you”. The service includes foot washing and handwashing, the “stripping of the altar area” in remembrance of the way Jesus was stripped and humiliated by those who put him to death, washing the altar and taking the reserved Sacrament to the Altar of Repose where we place them in reserve for the Good Friday Service.

Good Friday Liturgy
2026-04-03 19:00 - 20:00 | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
The Good Friday liturgy marks the day of Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, and death and is a continuation of the Maundy Thursday liturgy. We mark the day of Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, and death. In John’s passion account, Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he is put on trial and sentenced to death. Standing with the 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. We share in Holy Communion from the reserved sacrament. We gather in solemn devotion, but always with the promise that the tree around which we assemble is indeed a tree of life. We depart silently, and we anticipate the culmination of the Three Days at the Easter Vigil.

Easter Vigil
2026-04-04 20:00 - 21:00 | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
Weather permitting, we gather outside around a newly built fire to light the paschal (Greek for “passage”) candle which is carried in procession into the darkened sanctuary representing Jesus tomb. We hear beloved Bible stories, sing hymns, and listen to the Easter gospel from John, all of which proclaim that God is always giving new life. The service concludes with the first Eucharist of Easter as we sing our Alleluia’s to our Risen Savior.

Easter Sunday – 2026 Festival Worship
2026-04-05 10:00 - 11:30 | St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 8630 Refugee Road, Pickerington, Ohio, 43147, United States
The tomb is empty! Jesus Christ is risen! Like Mary Magdalene and the other women who went to the tomb we experience the risen Lord and our sadness and weeping come to an end. “Now no more can death appall, now no more the grave enthrall; You have opened paradise, and your saints in you shall rise. Alleluia!” At The Lamb’s High Feast We Sing (1982 Hymnal verse3)
