Wednesday of Holy Week

Healing Eucharist Service with Anointing

April 16 @ 12 Noon in the Church Nave/Sanctuary

This special service combines the Eucharist with a focus on healing — for the body, mind, spirit, and society. Following the service, individual intercessory prayer will be available, along with anointing with oil.

Maundy Thursday

April 17 @ 7:00 PM in the Church Nave/Sanctuary

On Maundy Thursday we remember the Last Supper and contemplate Jesus’s commandment to love one another. This is one of the most intimate and beautiful services of the entire church year. The liturgy for this day includes optional foot-washing, imitating the humble service Jesus provided for his disciples before the Last Supper.

This service is also available via livestream.

Good Friday: The Stations of the Cross

April 18 @ 12:00 Noon in the Church Nave/Sanctuary

On Good Friday we re-tell the story of Jesus’s arrest, trial, suffering, and death as we walk the Stations of the Cross, a practice of Christians pilgrims since at least the 4th century.

Good Friday: The Proper Liturgy

April 18 @ 7:00 PM in the Church Nave/Sanctuary

On Good Friday evening we read the Passion story from the Gospel of John and contemplate the mystery of Christ’s death on the cross.

This service is also available via livestream.
