Holy Week

Palm Weekend

Holy week begins with worship reordered to correspond with Jesus' last days in Jerusalem, beginning with his triumphant entry and shouts of "Hosanna" and ending with the cross and shouts of "Crucify". All sesrvices will come alive with the brass quintet, North Shore Brass, led by the premier trumpet of Pam Humphrey.

Maundy Thursday, April 1 - 11:45 a.m. & 7:00 p.m.
Maundy comes from the Latin words "man datum" which mean commandment. On this day we remember Jesus giving a new commandment in the bread and the wine of the Passover, "love one another as I have loved you." The evening service will use Marty Haugen's famous Agape Liturgy and ends with the dramatic stripping of the altar. Always a spirtually powerful service.

Good Friday, April 2 - 11:45 a.m. & 7:00 p.m.
In the empty altar area stands a large cross, focusing our attending on the incredible cruelty of the cross and the extraordinary love of Christ. A moving service not to be missed.
