40 Days of
Helping Others
What if instead of giving things up or taking things away for Lent, we added something? If every day everyone donated one non-perishable food item, can you imagine how many people we could help at the end of those 40 days? Let’s find out together! Join with our Church School, more information here.

Palm Sunday
March 25, 2018
9:30 AM The Liturgy of the Palms. Service will begin in church yard, weather permitting.
The Sunday of the Passion or Palm Sunday begins the last week of Lent, known as Holy Week. The dual nature of the Liturgy for this Sunday is evident from the title, the Sunday of the Passion. It begins with the pomp and glory of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem with shouts of "hosanna" to our King. These hosannas soon change to "Crucify him, crucify him," as the Passion is narrated and dramatically proclaimed.
Maundy Thursday
March 29, 2018
6:00 PM Soup & Bread Supper
Join us for a time of fellowship with a simple soup and bread supper from 6:00 p.m. - until about 6:45 pm.
7:00 PM Proper Liturgy with Foot Washing, Holy Eucharist & Stripping of the Altar.
The Maundy Thursday liturgy recreates the events around the last Supper. At the Passover meal, Jesus institutes the Eucharist with the words: "do this in remembrance of me". During the meal Jesus, on bended knee embraces the role of servant, washes His disciples feet and then extends the mandate: "as I have done, now you must do." The service ends abruptly with the stripping of the altar and chancel, and the reserved sacrament of Our Lord's Body and Blood is carried and placed on the Altar of Repose. We depart in silence reflecting on all that the Lord has done to show so great a love for us.
Good Friday
March 30, 2018
7:00 PM Proper Liturgy with Veneration of the Cross & Distribution of Communion from Reserve Sacrament.
This service focuses on Jesus's passion and death, with prayers for the Church, world and with a public veneration by the faithful of the Wood of the Cross. Then we gather at the altar to receive the gift of Holy Eucharist and recall our Christian calling to be bread and peace for one another and our world.
