SUMMARY:Holy Week Services
DESCRIPTION: \nBeginning with Maundy Thursday\, we celebrate the Last Supper and Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet. We will begin the service with a few prayers and the communion liturgy all together\, then families can visit various stations set up on the lawn; you can write a prayer and leave it in the Prayer Basket; you and your family can experience the idea of Jesus washing the feet by receiving warm water poured over your hands; and you can come to a setup of the Last Supper at which you can receive Holy Communion. It will be a short but meaningful service that can center us for the days ahead. \nGood Friday is the day we recognize the crucifixion of Jesus. As we did on Ash Wednesday\, the sanctuary will be open from noon until 3:00 pm for you and your family to spend some quiet time in self-guided prayer and meditation. \nOn Saturday evening\, we will have two services\, very nearly back-to-back. The first will be celebrating the Way of the Cross. We will actually journey around the outside of the church and stop along the way to meditate at various groupings of the stations of the cross. It will be an interactive and participatory service\, where various people can carry the cross from location to location. This will serve as a powerful reminder of the journey Jesus took to his own crucifixion. \nThe second service on Saturday will be at the Easter vigil\, or “night watch\,” beginning at sunset. This is a service of readings\, music\, and responses that outlines the entire history of the church. We will renew our baptismal vows. The vigil commemorates the final day of Christ’s death\, and ends with a joyous acclamation of the resurrection of Jesus. \n  \nWe celebrate together the most important day of the Christian year with our jubilant Easter Sunday morning worship at either 8:00 am 10:00 am. Both services will have a sermon\, congregational singing of Easter hymns and songs\, a children’s time\, and special music by either the Bell Choir or Chancel Choir. Come and join the celebration of seeing Jesus in our lives through his resurrection and love for all of us! \n
