Holy Week is the sacred threshold between the wilderness of Lent and the light of Easter.  We enter a time outside of time, walking with God through the heights of praise, the depths of betrayal, and the profound mystery of the cross, awaiting the transformation of all things.

    Palm / Passion Sunday, March 29 – 8:00, 9:30, & 11 a.m.

    We journey from the palms of victory to the shadow of the cross.  This service holds the tension between the joyful procession and the solemn Passion narrative.

    Maundy Thursday, April 2 – 6:30 p.m.

    Named for the “commandment” (mandatum) to love, we observe Jesus’ commandment at the Last Supper to love one another through foot/hand washing and communion, then through the stripping of the altar, we prepare our hearts for the darkness to come.

    Good Friday, April 3 – 6:30 p.m.

    We stand at the foot of the cross, reflecting on the depth of love and sacrifice. This solemn service observes the crucifixion through prayer and shadows.

    EASTER!  Alleluia! He is risen!

    Holy Humor Sunday, April 12th

    Grateful that Easter does not end on Easter Sunday, our celebration continues with laughter! We delight in the ultimate “holy joke” God played on death, honoring the joy and playfulness that new life brings.  Come in bright colors (Hawaiian shirts, if you have them), ready to revel in our God-given senses of humor!

    Note: there will be only two services this day: 9:30 & 11:00 a.m.
