Holy Week Services

 All worship services will be offered in-person and streamed on Facebook, Vimeo, and Youtube.

Maundy Thursday - March 28

Service of Holy Communion at 6:30 pm
This service commemorates the night Jesus and his disciples shared The Last Supper. In remembrance of that night, we will celebrate Holy Communion; all are invited to the table in the United Methodist Church and families are encouraged to receive the sacrament together. The service concludes with the stripping of the altar, during which time the congregation will assist in removing the symbols of Jesus’ life and teaching from the Sanctuary. 

 

Good Friday - March 29

Solemn Liturgy for Good Friday at Noon
A quiet, solemn service of scripture and song recalling the final day of Jesus’ earthly life. This service typically lasts no longer than 50 minutes, perfect for working professionals.

Service of Tenebrae at 6:30 pm
The service of Tenebrae, from the Latin meaning “darkness,” makes use of gradually diminishing light, scripture readings, and sacred music to symbolize the events of Jesus’ last week on earth. The service concludes in total darkness, as the Christ candle is taken from the Sanctuary, symbolizing the death of Jesus.
