THE TRIDUUM
Join us for the Triduum of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil is one service held over three days. All three nights will be live-streamed.
Maundy Thursday, March 28, 7 p.m. We hear the story of the Last Supper, wash each other's feet, celebrate Holy Communion and watch the sanctuary stripped bare.
Good Friday Liturgy, March 29, 7 p.m. We gather to kneel before the empty cross and pray the solemn collects.
In addition to the traditional Triduum Good Friday Service, we will offer two opportunities to walk the Stations of the Cross
Interactive, Self-Guided Stations of the Cross | 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Children, individuals, and small groups are invited to walk the stations with the help of an interactive packet and materials that include crafted activities and questions tailored for all ages. If it rains, this will be canceled
Congregational Stations of the Cross | 5:15 p.m.
Join us for a family-friendly service, following the footsteps of early Church pilgrims. Weather permitting, we'll walk the stations outside, carrying a wooden cross together.
Easter Vigil, March 30, 7 p.m. We begin by sitting in the dark and watching the light fill the sanctuary. We hear the story of salvation, renew our baptismal vows, and celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter.
EASTER SUNDAY
Holy Eucharist, 8:30 a.m. & 11 a.m.
This Sunday March 31, join us for Holy Eucharist at either 8:30 or 11 a.m. to celebrate the Risen Lord! The nursery is open all morning and there will be a homily for children at the 8:30 service. There will be an Easter egg hunt for children at 10:15.
Formation Hour
There will be no Formation hour this Sunday. Spring Formation will resume on April 7 at 10 a.m. with a new class led by Fr. Josh Condon:
The Church Finding Its Way in a City in Flux: Join Fr. Josh in our Spring Formation class, in which he explores Paul's initial letter to the Corinthian church. This letter, written three years after the church's establishment, serves as both a pastoral and theological plea to be a cohesive community amid an ever-changing world. In this class, we examine Paul’s letter in its context, grasping his genuine concerns for the church and contemplating how his concepts remain relevant today. April 7 - May 12 in Wallace Hall.
