Holy Week Events



Palm Sunday - March 29th
During the service, we will celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem for his last Passover. This festive service will include our traditional donkey procession and palm branches but will also have undertones of solemnity as we prepare to enter Holy Week.

Maundy Thursday - April 2nd
Maundy Thursday remembers the commandment that Christ gave us, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.  Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” (John 13:34)  We’ll also celebrate the Lord’s Supper, remembering the meal Christ shared with his disciples before his death.  The word Maundy is derived from the Latin word for command.  The choir will present In Calvary’s Shadow, a Tenebrae Service by Victor C. Johnson.  Tenebrae is Latin for shadows or darkness. All are invited to join us for a soup supper as we remember Christ’s commandment through the sharing of a meal, Lord’s Supper and Tenebrae service from 6:00 to 7:30pm.

Easter Sunday
Sunrise Service - April 5th
I hope you consider joining us twice on Easter Sunday, April 5th.  We are going to hold an Easter Sunrise service at Magnuson Park near the swimming beach.  Everyone is invited to join together beginning at 6:30am in praise to the risen Lord.  Our young people will play important roles in this joyful service.  You’ll want to get there on time as the sun rises at 6:41.  Not too sure about the early hour… that’s okay, we will enjoy seeing you at our indoor 10:00am Easter service with Brunch and Egg Hunts to follow. To get to the beach, enter the park at NE 65th Street from Sand Point Way NE, drive straight ahead (east) to the lake, then left (north) on Lake Shore Drive NE.  Parking at the foot of Kite Hill, near the Fin Art Project. –Jennifer
