Palm Sunday (April 2)Holy Week is the most special week of the Church Calendar. It recalls Jesus' last week, beginning with his entry into Jerusalem to shouts of "Hosanna!" and waving of palms. We will sing Jesus' praises with our full band and prepare ourselves to "bear witness" to the movements of Jesus throughout Holy Week. |
Maundy Thursday (April 6)On Holy Thursday, we experience Jesus' last supper with his disciples where he gave them a new comMANDment (did you see "Maundy" in there--kind of?) to love one another. We will share a full but simple meal together in Paterson Hall and seek to enact Jesus' commandment among ourselves. You need not bring anything except yourself to this meal. |
Good Friday (APril 7)We will journey with Jesus to the cross. This solemn walk, put on by six Point/Shoreland churches, begins at the Lighthouse on Summit St. While volunteers carry the cross, we will make our way to Messiah Lutheran and Point Place UCC before ending at St. John the Baptist. Parking is available at all locations. Strollers, bikes, and wagons are welcome too! |
Good Friday (April 7)We will gather with our sisters and brothers from CrossPoint, Northpoint, and RiverPoint to reflect on what Jesus heard from the cross and on his journey to Golgotha. It will be a very experiential service with plenty of time for reflection and prayer. This service is held in the "courtyard" room at RiverPoint on 131st St. |
Easter Sunday (APril 9)On Resurrection Sunday, we will have coffee and breakfast refreshments out in the Lounge from 9-10am so that we can share the Good News with one another. There will also be an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids during that time. At 10am, we will move over to the Sanctuary to sing and celebrate and talk about sharing the Good News with others. |
