HOLY WEEK
Schedule
Palm Sunday, April 2 2023 at 10:30 AM
We commemorate Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the Sunday before his passion, death, and resurrection. The service of Palms and Holy Communion.
Maundy Thursday, April 6 2023 at 7:00 PM
On this day, Jesus celebrated his final meal with his disciples. At dinner, he gave them the “new commandment” to love one another, demonstrated this love by taking the role of a servant and washing his disciples’ feet, instituted the Holy Eucharist, and was betrayed by his disciple Judas. We re-enact these mysteries.
Good Friday, April 7 2023 at 12:00 NOON
On Good Friday, Jesus Christ was tried, tortured, and executed by crucifixion. We meditate on his life-giving sacrifice.
Sunrise Service (Easter Vigil), Sunday April 9 2023 at 7:00 AM
This service is a “vigil,” which means a time of watching and waiting in prayer through the still and quiet hours of the night. We are waiting to discover that Christ is no longer in his tomb. We begin in darkness, anticipating the resurrection by lighting a "new fire," renew our baptismal vows, and then proclaim the resurrection.
Easter Breakfast, Sunday April 9 2023 at 8:00 AM (in the hall)
We celebrate the resurrection by breaking bread together.
Easter Communion, Sunday April 9 2023 at 10:30 AM
Easter morning is the most celebratory occasion of the Christian year. We celebrate the victory of light over darkness, of life over death, of hope over despair, and of forgiveness over guilt. A service of Holy Communion.
Service of the Word, Sunday April 9 2023 at 3:00 pM (St Peter's, Sandy Point)
A service especially for the Sandy Point community. We continue to proclaim the resurrection. Hymns, readings, prayers, and a sermon.
