 Holy Eucharist, Washing of Hands, Stripping of the Altar

This service recalls Jesus’ last evening with his disciples, when he taught them about love and service, and offered himself to them through the Last Supper. At this service he offers a “new commandment” — to love one another. The service concludes with the congregation helping to strip the sanctuary of all adornment. The service is brought to a close with the account of Jesus being arrested.

Solemn Liturgy for Good Friday

This is a solemn liturgy in which we hear the Passion of St. John and we reflect on Jesus’ offering of himself on the cross. There will be no Eucharist celebrated on the day we mark Christ’s death. Our liturgy bids us pray for the world and for ourselves. We’re given the opportunity to approach and pray at the food of the cross, symbolizing Christ’s sacrifice for us.

Easter Sunday, April 20, 10:30 am

 We celebrate Holy Eucharist with beautiful music and Easter joy.  As we hear the account of the Resurrection proclaimed, we ring out the bells, making a joyful noise as we rejoice that Christ is risen. (Bring bells from home to ring! Bells will be provided for you if you don’t have them.) We then celebrate the First Eucharist of Easter and break out the Alleluias which have been absent during Lent. Join us following the service for refreshments in the Parish Hall.
