Holy Week Worship Events

Mark your calendar and share in our Holy Week worship events.

On Palm Sunday, March 28th, we remember the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Whether you attend the 9am Online or 1030am Onsite service, please bring leafy branches to wave during the service.

We celebrate Maundy Thursday, April 1, with an evening of music and scripture at the online service at 6:30pm.

Come to the Outdoor Chapel on Good Friday, April 2, at 6:30pm for a meaningful Onsite service.

Join us for an outdoor Onsite Easter Eve service at 7pm, Saturday, April 3. St. Patrick established the first Easter Vigil with a Paschal Fire that could not be extinguished. A triumph of Christ the Light over the darkness. The service will incorporate fire, candles, and the Word.

We celebrate the powerful victory of Easter beginning with three worship services On April 4th:

  • Onsite outdoor sunrise service at 7am in the Outdoor Chapel. The service includes Communion and will be followed by a light breakfast.
  • We continue our celebration with 9am live stream service; and
  • 10:30am Onsite service in the sanctuary, followed by a fun Easter egg hunt at 1130am for children of all ages.

Pilgrimage Reflection Guide

Each week of Lent, there will be an invitation to pilgrimage during the worship services. And each week will have its own reflection guide to direct us as we join the pilgrimage. Members of our congregation have prepared these weekly reflection guides and have incorporated material from Wes Granberg-Micaelson’s book, Without Oars. You will find the document linked here for you to print.
