  Holy Week

We journey with Jesus through the last week of his earthly life. From the excitement of Palm Sunday to the Last Supper, to the hill of Calvary, to the empty tomb. Come and be changed by Jesus who in his dying and rising forever changed the world!

Palm Sunday April 13 10 am

Our worship includes a blessing of the palms and singing our Hosannas to Jesus. The mood rapidly shifts to remembering Jesus Passion as we hear the story of his arrest and crucifixion from Luke’s gospel. To know the joy of Easter we enter the pain of Holy Week. 

Monday April 14

10am Morning Prayer    

11:15am Stations of the Cross 

Tuesday April 15           6pm

Stations of the Cross ending with Eucharist

Wednesday April 16      3-6pm

Private Confession and Forgiveness

Maundy Thursday April 17    7pm

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 and taking the reserved Sacrament to the Altar of Repose where we place them in reserve for the Good Friday Service.  We depart in silence.

  Good Friday April 18 

Noon   Stations of the Cross

7pm    Good Friday 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 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 on Easter morning.

The tomb is empty! Christ is risen!

Alleluia!” At The Lamb’s High Feast We Sing (1982 Hymnal verse3)
