Holy Week and Easter

We draw near to Holy Week and Easter, and to our celebration of the central mystery of the
Christian faith:

Christ has died. Christ is Risen. Christ will come again.

On Palm Sunday, April 13, we remember how Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem in triumph.
He was hailed as King of kings and Lord of lords by the crowds who lined His path—the same
people who, a few days later, would be calling for His death. We see ourselves in those people;
we are fickle in our faith and shallow in our commitment, and we need the grace and mercy that
only God can give. Worship on Palm Sunday is at 7:30 and 10 am.

Maundy Thursday April 17 is the day Jesus ate His Last Supper. We remember that moment in
a special worship that evening, starting at 7 pm.

Good Friday April 18 is the day Christ died for us. There are two worship opportunities that day,
including the Cross Walk—we meet at the east doors of the church at 12 noon, and walk
through the village of Arlington, carrying a large wooden cross, and stopping seven times to
pray and to sing.

Then at 7 pm on Good Friday, we gather inside the church for a service of worship that ends in
total darkness, as we remember His death for us on the cross.

There is no worship on Holy Saturday, April 19. Worship returns at 5pm on Saturday, April 26.
And Easter Sunday is April 20! The Lord is Risen from the dead!

• Our first worship that day is at 6:30 am (not 7:30 as usual).
• A free breakfast follows at 7:30.
• Sunday School is at 9, and worship is held again at 10 am.

You and yours are welcome! And to God be the glory.
