Holy Week

Holy Week
Holy Week commemorates the events immediately preceding the crucifixion. This is the most solemn time during the church year.

Maundy Thursday honors the memory of the final Passover Jesus celebrated as His Last Supper with His disciples. It gets its name from a Latin church anthem, the first line of which reads, "Mandatum novum do vobis," or "a new commandment I give to you" (John 13:34). Our Maundy Thursday service will be on March 28 at 7:00 PM. We will celebrate with Holy Communion.

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Christ; many churches focus on the events of the crucifixion and the words of Christ from the cross. Many Maundy Thursday and some Good Friday services conclude with draping the altar cross with black cloth, extinguishing all sanctuary lights, ceasing all music, and having the congregation exit without speaking to symbolize the imminent death of Christ. Our service will be on March 29 at 7:00 PM. As we continue to engage in this Lenten season together, may you have a fresh sense of all we will experience.


See you on Sunday,
Misty
