Holy Week

Palm Sunday, March 28, 10:30 AM:

To help us commemorate Jesus’ Palm Sunday entry into Jerusalem, a special pre-service, courtyard reception, complete with foods from the Holy Land, will be held from 10:10-10:30 AM.

Wednesday, March 31, 7 PM:

Our children and youth will lead us in a Tenebrae service. This “service of darkness” will utilize choral numbers, scripture readings and congregational singing to recount the story of Christ’s Passion as candles are extinguished until the room is dark.

Good Friday, April 2, 7 PM:

Using Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Last Supper as a backdrop, actors and choir will recreate the moment when all must ask; “Is it I?” To celebrate the bi-lingual nature of our “one” congregation, all the apostles will be portrayed by Spanish speaking members (English translations will be on the screens) and all choral numbers (with Spanish libretto) will be sung in English by the choir.

Easter Service, April 4, 10:30 AM:

Easter Sunday is always filled with glorious music and inspirational worship and this year’s celebration is no exception. The Brian Noel Harp Ensemble will join with our choir and orchestra to provide a special touch to the music portion of the English service.
