Holy Week Events

Holy Week is the heart of the church’s ritual, theological, and missional life. The life and mission of Jesus meet their fullest test. Jesus stares directly into the face of the structures of sin and the powers of death and remains true to his calling and the work of God’s kingdom

Palm Sunday, April 13th

Palm Sunday recalls the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem. He was greeted by crowds waving palm branches with shouts of “Hosanna,” which was a call for help.
The 10 a.m. service will have a children’s procession carrying palm branches. Following the service of the palms, there will be a reading of the passion story from the Gospel of Mark. The account will begin with Jesus’ last supper with his disciples, and then move through his arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial. The church choir will sing a selection of anthems between each of the readings.

Holy Thursday, April 17th

There will be a Lenten potluck dinner with discussion groups reflecting on the last seven words of Christ said from the cross.  

Good Friday, April 18th
