Resurrection Sunday, April 17 at 9:00

Every Sunday in worship, the church celebrates the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit gathers us to receive again the gifts of God that come to us through Christ, the saving Word. On this day, we rejoice anew. Easter is the day of all days. The tomb could not keep Jesus. As Christ is risen, we too shall be raised. Come, join with all the faithful across the world as we raise our voices in triumphant song and share the meal of Holy Communion which Christ set before us. Alleluia! Christ is Risen! He’s Risen indeed! Alleluia!

Good Friday, April 15 at 7:30 pm

On this night, the journey continues through the Three Days of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection. At the heart of this service is the passion reading according to John, which celebrates Christ’s victory on the cross. As Jesus draws all people to himself, we pray for the whole world for which Christ died. Finally, we honor the cross as the sign of forgiveness, healing, and salvation. With all God’s people we are invited to bow before this mystery of faith. Christ has died, so that we may live.

Maundy Thursday, April 14 at 7:00 pm

On this night we begin the Three Days during which we participate once again in the saving power of Jesus’ passing over from death into life. The Maundy Thursday service includes the words of Jesus’ new commandment (madatum, from which Maundy comes) to love one another. On this night in which Jesus was handed over to death we also gather around the Lord’s supper. At the service conclusion, the altar area is stripped of furnishings as a sign of Jesus’ abandonment.

Worship Pattern:

we gather in the gym to experience the Living Last Supper and join with First Communicants in receiving Christ’s body and blood. Service concludes with silent procession to the worship space where we sing Were You There, followed by the solemnity of stripping the chancel as Psalm 22 is chanted.

Palm Sunday concludes our 40 day Lenten journey. It recognizes the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and is marked by words of praise and adoration for the God who came to save us.

Sadly, that joy is short-lived as we recognize the reality of what awaits Jesus after his final entry into Jerusalem; the cross, for our sake.

Before we celebrate the Resurrection, we are called to remember that Jesus’ suffering and death demonstrates God’s love for us.

We experience this through Holy Week services; Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Unfortunately, participation in these vital worship experience has waned over the decades.

In response, the church began to couple the joy of Palm Sunday with the passion of Christ’s arrest, persecution, and death.

We will uncouple these two significant events in the life of Christians; thus bringing us an opportunity to walk closer with Jesus.

You are encouraged to fully participate in this most significant part of the church year; immersing ourselves in Holy Week services – we look forward to being with you at both Maundy Thursday and Good Friday worship services.
