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!
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil are three acts of a single sacred drama that present the life and death of Jesus for others as God’s saving gift for us all. All of us are invited to experience the mystery at the heart of our faith and have our lives changed by his love.
Participate in the Last Supper of Jesus, be encouraged to live out the great commandment of love, and wash one another’s hands and feet as a sign of our commitment to do so. Witness the stripping of the altar as we enter into the great mystery of his suffering and death. Musical selections will culminate with the famous Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, sung a cappella during Communion.
We gather with one another to bear witness to Jesus and his life poured in love for others. We solemnly intercede for the Church and the world. With prayer and sacred music, we exalt the Cross as the Tree of Life and Jesus Christ as Savior of the world.
We begin in darkness and light a new fire. From it we light the Paschal or Easter candle, which burns all fifty days of the Easter season and at every baptism and funeral. We hear the ancient stories of God as liberator and life-giver by candlelight. We proclaim the resurrection of Jesus in word, song, and sacrament, as we celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter with great joy. The Christ Church Choir offers a cappella anthems reflecting the death of Jesus.
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.
A simple worship service with Scripture readings, hymns and the Eucharist.

A powerful service led by our Choir with candles, an enveloping darkness and chant to prepare for the crucifixion of Jesus, our Savior. Choral music ranges from the finest Renaissance polyphony to powerful modern choral pieces.
