Silhouette Of Cross

Holy Week Schedule 

Every Sunday in worship the church celebrates the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit gathers us to receive again the gifts of God that come to us through Christ, the saving Word. On several key days at the center of the church year, however, worship takes a particular shape. These central days have come to be known as the Three Days, recalling Jesus’ own words to his disciples that he would be handed over to death, and that “after three days he will rise again” (Mark 10:34). The Three Days encompass the time from Maundy Thursday evening through the evening of Easter Day. In particular, the services of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Vigil of Easter unfold in a single movement, as the church each year makes the passage with Christ through death into life.​

Palm Sunday

Sunday, March 29: 10:00am

On this day we encounter the paradox that defines our faith: Jesus Christ is

glorified king and humiliated servant. We wave palms in celebration today

as Christ comes into our midst, and we follow with trepidation as his path

leads to death on the cross. We begin this week that stands at the center of

the church year, anticipating the completion of God’s astounding work.

Maundy Thursday

Thursday, April 2: 7:00pm

On this night we begin the Three Days during which we par-

ticipate once again in the saving power of Jesus’ passing

over from death into life. This service includes the words of

Jesus’ new commandment (mandatum, from which Maundy

comes) to love one another. On this night in which Jesus was handed over to

death we also gather around the Lord’s supper. At the service’s conclusion,

the altar is stripped as a sign of Jesus’ abandonment.

Good Friday

Friday, April 3:  12:00pm & 7:00pm

This service continues the journey through the Three Days of Jesus’ suffer-

ing, death, and resurrection. At the heart of this service is the passion read-

ing of John, which celebrates Christ’s victory on the cross. As Jesus draws

all people to himself, we pray for the whole world for which Christ died. Fi-

nally we honor the cross as the sign of forgiveness, healing, and salvation.

With all God’s people, we are invited to bow before this mystery of faith.

Christ has died, so that we may live.

Easter Sunday
 

Sunday, April 5:10:00am

Join us as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord on Easter Sunday. We

will gather for a time of celebration and praise as we give thanks for all that

God has done in the death and resurrection of Christ. The tomb is empty, Christ is Risen.
