Lent, Holy Week, and Easter 

 

Ash Wednesday Service

To begin the Lenten season, a simple service in the sanctuary, including silence, Scripture readings, music, meditation, healing prayers and the imposition of ashes. 

​

Palm Sunday Service

Entering into Jerusalem, Jesus was hailed as the Messiah, the savior, the king.  Palm branches were laid before him and crowds thronged the streets.  But Jesus alone knew what really lay before him.

 

Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service

"Tenebrae" means "shadows," so the service moves from light to darkness as candles are extinguished.  On his last night, Jesus gathered with his disciples  for a Passover meal.  We join together for a contemplative communion service in the vestry to place our hearts and minds upon Jesus’ last night with his disciples before his death.

 

Easter Vigil

An open sanctuary for prayer and meditation in recognition of Jesus’ death. All are welcome!

 

Stations of the Cross

Good Friday

We walk the 14 stations where crosses have been placed at the church.  

 

Easter Sunday

We meet to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and a new day.

A joyous celebration of Jesus’ resurrection (no Sunday School today).
