Holy Week Services

Just a little commercial. If you are within driving distance this Holy Week and don't have plans, we invite you to visit our church. Here is our schedule for this week:

4/9 - Holy Thursday commemoration of the Last Supper. First Communion for several youths. Service concludes with the stripping of the altar while Psalm 22 is chanted.
Service begins at 7:00PM.

4/10 - Good Friday Tenebre commemoration of the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Concludes with readings, prayers, and solemn hymns as the sanctuary descends into darkness.
Service begins at 7:30PM.

4/11 - Holy Saturday Vigil of Easter. This ancient service is a time between darkness and light, a time to remember our baptism, partake of the Lord's Body and Blood, and remember God's salvific mercy to his people. The darkness can not overcome the Light of Christ! Candle-light procession with the Paschal candle leading the way into the sanctuary, reminiscent of the ancient church's vigil in the catacombs of the tombs.
Service will begin approximately 8:00PM in the school hallway near the gym.

4/12 - Easter Sunday celebration of the Resurrection of Christ! Holy Communion service with exuberant hymns. The Children's choir will also sing.
Service begins at 10:30.

Park behind the school. Enter through the school doors in the parking lot (east end of the building). If arriving late, we close and lock those doors, but you can still enter the sanctuary doors on the west end of the building.

Concealed Handgun License holders welcomed and encouraged to practice their rights.
