Palm Sunday—Sunday, March 29, 8am and 10amStushie Palm Sunday

“All glory, laud, and honor . . .” Meet in the garden to pick up palm branches and share in a brief liturgy, followed by a festive procession into the church.

Morning Prayer—Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, March 30-April 1, 8am in the chapel

Holy Week doesn’t jump abruptly from Palm Sunday to Maundy Thursday. Start your days off for a brief and intimate service of prayer and praise. Scripture readings will follow the events of Jesus’ last week on earth as related in the book of Mark.6872371581_d09981eba3_z

Maundy Thursday observance—Thursday, April 2, 7pm in the church

This communion service, which commemorates Jesus’ last supper with his disciples, also celebrates servanthood and sacrifice, pointing us toward Good Friday. Service will include (optional) foot washing and conclude with stripping the altar.

To the crossGood Friday service—Friday, April 3, noon in the chapel

This brief, somber service will include a dramatic reading of the passion narrative in Mark’s gospel.

Stations of the Cross—Friday, April 3, 2:15 in the garden (chapel if it’s raining)

An opportunity for quiet meditation of the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice.

 

 Great Vigil of Easter—Saturday, April 4, 8pm in the garden

For many of us, this nighttime service is the best of the year. Gather in the garden for the lighting of the Paschal (Easter) candle and procession into the darkened church, an ancient hymn called the Exultet, readings and songs that trace God’s redemption purpose during history, a baptism, then a joyous, bell-ringing celebration of the resurrection. Bring a bell if you have one!

Like a Rolling Stone

Feast of the Resurrection—Sunday, April 5, 8am and 10am

Episcopalians like to think that we’re “Easter people” and our Easter celebrations show it. Bring your bell again if you want for the 10 am service—we’ll be ringing them again.

Champagne breakfast— Sunday, April 5, between services

Enjoy our traditional egg casserole, pastries, fruit, coffee and juice and a little celebratory champagne. Everyone is welcome. Donations are appreciated but not required—proceeds will go to outreach.

Bring your own basket and meet in the cloister room!
