April 2, Palm Sunday
Holy Week begins with shouts and waving palm branches as we join the crowd to cheer Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem. We will gather outside of the church to bless palm branches and process around the neighborhood together, following the cross. Then we’ll transition from the triumphant entry to Jerusalem to the story of Jesus’ passion and death, read dramatically by lectors and the whole congregation.

April 8, Great Vigil of Easter:
First Lutheran Church in Lynn
The Great Vigil of Easter is a celebration like no other. We begin outside around a fire and end in the sanctuary proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus Christ. During the service we tell the stories of what God has done for us: creating the world, liberating the Hebrews from Egypt, the young men from the fiery furnace, and us through the waters of baptism. We end in the light of Easter Sunday, sharing holy communion with one another. This service is hosted at 6pm by our friends at First Lutheran Church in Lynn.
