Holy Week

 

April 9   Palm Sunday

On this Sunday we commemorate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem with a palm processional and special music by our Chancel, Children’s and Brass Choirs as well as a musical presentation of “The Singing Bishop.”  Worship is at 10:30 AM with nursery care and church school during the same hour.

 

April 13   Maundy Thursday

During this service we remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples in the Upper Room.  As candlelight fills the Sanctuary, we gather 12 at a time around the communion table to receive the Lord’s Supper.  The service then concludes with the moving service of Tenebrae - the extinguishing of the lights as the story of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion is read.  Childcare is available.  The Maundy Thursday service will begin at 7:30 PM in the Sanctuary.  The service will be preceded with a simple Soup Supper at 6:45 in Fellowship Hall.

 

April 14  Good Friday

The Community Good Friday service will be held St Stephens Episcopal Church at 500 Robinson Road at noon.

 

April 16   Easter Sunday

We celebrate Christ’s resurrection and the triumph of life over death with two joyous worship services at 9 AM and 11 AM.  The Chancel, Brass and Handbell Choirs, will participate, the church will be decked with lilies and banners and we will conclude with the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus.  Despair gives way to hope, death gives way to life, as we worship
