The days of Holy Week invite us into the most profound moments of the Christian faith. From the joy of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the sorrow of His crucifixion, and ultimately, to the glory of His resurrection, Holy Week is a journey through the depths of love, sacrifice, and hope. As we reflect on the passion of Christ, we are drawn into a deeper understanding of His immense love for us and the gift of salvation He offers.
During this week, we have the unique opportunity to walk closely with Jesus, remembering the events that changed the course of history and continue to transform our lives today. It's a time to gather as a community, to worship, to reflect, and to prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.
We'd like to warmly invite you to join us for the following Holy Week services and activities:
Palm Sunday – April 13
- Worship at 9:30 am: We'll begin the week by remembering Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, as the crowds welcomed Him with palm branches, proclaiming Him as King.
- Brunch at 10:30 am: Join us for a time of fellowship and food as we begin the journey through Holy Week together.
Maundy Thursday – April 17
Worship at 6:30 pm: On this evening, we will read through John 13-17, focusing on Jesus' teachings and actions during the last hours with His disciples before His arrest. We will reflect on His act of washing the disciples' feet, His command to love one another, and His prayer for unity and strength.
Good Friday - April 18
Tenebrae Worship Service at 6:30 pm: The Tenebrae is a moving and contemplative service that walks us through the darkness of Christ’s passion and crucifixion. "Tenebrae" means “shadow”, and throughout the service, we gradually extinguish candles, symbolizing the encroaching darkness as Christ approaches death.
Easter Sunday – April 20
- Choir Cantata at 9:30 am: On Easter morning, we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with a beautiful cantata!
- Doughnuts and Egg Hunt at 10:30 am: After worship, join us for a time of fellowship with doughnuts and coffee. Children are invited to participate in an Easter egg hunt as we celebrate the joy of the resurrection.
We look forward to walking through this Holy Week with you, preparing our hearts to celebrate the new life we have in Christ.
