Maundy Thursday
April 6 at 5:30 pm
On Maundy Thursday, we hear John’s powerful account of Jesus’ last meal with his friends. We witness the Lord and Teacher washing the feet of his disciples. We remember His “new” commandment (Maundy being the Latin word for commandment) “that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.”
Good Friday
April 7 - Good Friday Stations of the Cross, 2 pm
April 7 - Good Friday Service, 5:30 pm
Traditionally a solemn day of fasting and penance, Good Friday commemorates the passion, or suffering and death on the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. We remember the suffering He endured for our sake. We are reminded of the depths of His love for us so that we could receive the gift of eternal life.
Great Vigil of Easter
April 8 at 7:30 pm (No 5:30 pm service)
A new fire is kindled and the Paschal candle lit. Then, on a journey from darkness to light, we hear the history of salvation from the fall in the Garden of Eden, to the new hope that comes with Jesus’ resurrection. Our Easter joy is crowned as we gather around Jesus’ table to share his life once more in the bread of life and cup of salvation.
Easter Sunday
Sunday, April 9 at 8 & 10 am
Join us Easter Sunday as we exalt in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the new life He brings for all of us. Our Easter joy will be reflected in our jubilant worship, music and fellowship as we celebrate together in the Risen Christ. The 10 am service will also be livestreamed.
All parish youth are invited to the annual Easter Egg Hunt and a visit from the Easter bunny who promises to bring some special treats. Join us under the Kid's Tent after the 10 am service for snacks and activities.
