Weclome to Holy Week at Christ Church | March 24 - March 31, 2024

Holy Week is the time when we journey with Jesus to the cross before we experience the victory of God’s love in the resurrection.

palm Sunday

March 24, One service @ 10:30 am

Palm Sunday is a Sunday filled with emotional highs and lows. We celebrate the emotional high of Jesus riding into Jerusalem as the people line the road with palm branches acknowledging him as their King. We also remember the emotional low of Jesus’ trial and crucifixion in the Passion Gospel.

Maundy Thursday

March 28 @ 7 pm with Overnight prayer vigil

On Maundy Thursday, we recall Jesus’ greatest commandment to us: to love others as God loves us. We remember Jesus’ act of love and service when he washed his disciples feet by having our feet washed. We also strip the altar in preparation for the bleakness of Good Friday. After the service we “stay awake to pray with Jesus” by offering an All-Night Prayer Vigil in-person in our Sanctuary.

SIGN UP HERE FOR THE ALL-NIGHT PRAYER VIGIL

Good Friday

March 29, 12 noon service & 7 pm youth led stations of the cross

On Good Friday, we observe the Passion of Jesus Christ: the story of his arrest, torture, and crucifixion. It is a somber, dark day, but is integral to our Christian story, because it leads to joy of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Day.

The 12 noon service will be a traditional in-person liturgy using the reserved sacrament from the Maundy Thursday evening service.

At 7 pm our Youth will lead a dramatic presentation of the stations of the cross. In-person and online.

easter sunday

March 31 @ 8:45 & 11 am

The joyous season of Easter starts with Easter Day as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our Easter Day services are available for all to join in-person, or you can choose to watch our livestream at 11 am.

Consider joining us at the 8:45 am service, which is less crowded and will make more room for our families at the larger 11 am service.
