Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter
Palm Sunday is March 28th. We will celebrate the
entry of Jesus into Jerusalem with the traditional procession
of palms by the children and choir, which leads us into Holy
Week.
Maundy Thursday service will be held at 7:30 in
the sanctuary on April 1st. This is one of the most
beautiful and meaningful of the church as the Chancel
Choir and soloists will sing, the Gospel stories of the
Passion will be read, the Lord’s Supper will be served, and
there will be the extinguishing of the candles remembering
the crucifixion of Jesus. And we leave with hope, as we light
the Christ candle in silence knowing that resurrection is
now, for Christ is risen.
Good Friday, the sanctuary will be open for
silence, prayer, meditation and contemplation from
Noon until 3:00 pm.
Our Easter Celebration is on April 4th with
worship at 9:30 am. The service will be filled with beautiful
music of the Chancel Choir, soloists, musicians, hymns faith
and joy, an invitation to sing the Alleluia Chorus, and the
proclamation of the Good News that “Christ is risen; he is
risen, indeed!” What a wonderful time to join together in
thanksgiving to God who brings us through the darkest
days of our lives into the sunrise of new life. Invite a friend,
co-worker or neighbor to worship with you.
