Holy Week and Easter at St. Christopher’s
It’s the central week of the church year, where we tell the story of Christ’s last days on earth and of his death and resurrection. We tell it in words, in actions, and in songs during Holy Week. Whether you’re a long-time church-goer or have never heard the story before, you are welcome at St. Christopher’s this week. Come and be part of the great story.
Sunday, March 24 – Palm Sunday worship, 10:30am
A spirited start to Holy Week: we remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and the crowds who welcomed him one day, only to call for his death several days later.
Thursday, March 28 – Maundy Thursday supper and worship, 6:30pm
We remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples by sharing a meal and time of worship together.
Friday, March 29 – Good Friday worship, 4pm and 7pm
The most somber day of the church year: we remember Jesus’ crucifixion and death at the hands of all the people. At 4pm we will walk the Stations of the Cross trail; at 7pm we’ll gather for a simple service of worship.
Saturday, March 30 – Easter Vigil, 7pm
The first service of the resurrection! We gather around the light of Christ crucified and risen and tell the great story of faith. This is traditionally the day for baptisms in the church, and we will have a baptism at St. Christopher’s!
Sunday, March 31 – Easter Sunday, 8am, 10:30am
We celebrate the resurrection with a festive service of worship. An Easter brunch will take place from 9 to 10:30am, and an Easter egg hunt will follow the 10:30 service.
