All are welcome to join our inspired congregation as we celebrate Palm Sunday and Easter Week. We offer a wide range of activities for adults and children and joyous Palm Sunday and Easter celebrations. We look forward to seeing you!
Palm Sunday, April 1
Worship Service 10:30 am
Preceded by the outdoor procession with Jasper (the donkey), palms,
choir, & children at 10:10
Maundy Thursday, April 5 7:30pm
Service of Tenebrae and Communion
Preceding worship, our Deacons invite you to a potluck supper in Chapel Hall.
Tenebrae, Latin for Shadows, is a service of lessons and is accompanied by the gradual extinguishing of light. The readings, preceded by Communion, commemorate the events of Holy Week: Jesus’ betrayal & arrest, His passion, trial & death on the cross. This is a moving & important service that allows us to walk with Jesus in those last days & hours of His life. It prepares us to celebrate the glory & the light of the Resurrection on Easter.
Good Friday, April 6 12 noon
Our adult choir presents a “The Seven Last Words of Christ” by Theodore Dubois
Easter Vigil, April 7
Worship Service 7:30 pm
The Easter Vigil dates to the beginnings of Christianity. This candlelight service keeps the intent of such vigils—hearing the readings, remembering our baptisms and sharing Holy Communion together—but it is about an hour long! Watch and wait with us as we anticipate the joy of the dawning Easter day!
