Introducing Holy Week
Palm Sunday
Holy Week Begins with a protest. In the context of violence, joy is a protest. Join us in the march.
Maundy Thursday
The name Maundy Thursday comes from the Latin “mandatum” or command. We gather to remember Jesus’ command to the disciples: love one another and to prepare ourselves for the work ahead.
Good Friday
Good Friday is a stark day, a day of solidarity with the victims of violence and abuse. Sadly it is also a day when Christians have enacted terror on their Jewish neighbors; so it needs to be a day of repentance as well.
Great Vigil of Easter
In the dark night before Easter Morning, a fire is kindled. A voice sings out “The Light of Christ!” The people respond, “Thanks be to God.” The Easter Vigil is the holiest moment in the Christian calendar.
