Easter Sunday is regarded as the most joyful service of the year! We celebrate the Resurrection with uplifting music and worship. There is hope for all of us in Jesus! The Christ Church Choir is joined by brass and timpani to offer festive music to celebrate Easter starting at the 9 AM service. The 11:15 AM service features the exuberant Missa Brevis by contemporary composer Jonathan Dove with his recently written parts for brass.
Come before or after your Easter worship service to enjoy Easter Eggs with your family. Children will be given a bag and they can roam the field of eggs. Stop by the Rector’s lawn for some great fun!
The Holy Triduum -- Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil – tells the story of Jesus’ final days on earth: his Last Supper, the Arrest, the Crucifixion and then, the promise of what is to come. These services heighten your experience of the great gift of Jesus Christ for you. Come to one or all!
Jesus becomes our servant tonight. He washes the feet of his disciples. He then gives us a new commandment (Lt. mandatum) to follow: “Love one another as I have loved you.” So, we will participate in the ancient ritual of having our feet or hands washed by another as a sign of love for each other. We will then eat the Last Supper of Christ on earth. Finally, we will witness the moment Jesus is arrested and they strip him of everything and leave him to his death. Then we will wait to see what happens tomorrow.
Be in church at noon to witness Jesus hanging on the cross. Hear the profound hymns that remember this sacred day and hopeful words as a wooden cross is processed for all to see. The Christ Church Choir offers a cappella anthems reflecting the death of Jesus.
We begin in darkness with a fire and candlelight to guide us as we hear the ancient stories of how God has cared for the world throughout history. Then, when the candles are about to go out, there is light! This is a summation of our faith, the climax of the church’s year, and the first service of Easter – experience the profound joy of the Resurrection anew.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus’ much anticipated return to Jerusalem! Wave a palm branch to welcome Him and then follow Him as he journeys to the cross.
