Holy Week Worship

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Before we move too far into this special week, I want to remind you of the worship opportunities before us as we observe and celebrate the holiest of weeks:

MAUNDY THURSDAY (March 20) – St. Paul Lutheran Church (Wayne Ave.)

6:00 p.m. – dinner in the fellowship hall (upstairs)

7:00 p.m. – service of Holy Communion, the sharing of our last "faith story" (mine), and music from the combined chancel choirs of St. Paul and Our Savior

GOOD FRIDAY (March 21) – Lutheran Church of Our Savior

7:00 p.m. – Good Friday liturgy with reading of the Passion Narrative

HOLY SATURDAY (March 22) – Lutheran Church of Our Savior (in the chapel)

5:30 p.m. – Taize' Prayer Service for Peace and Healing of the nations

EASTER SUNDAY – March 23 – Lutheran Church of Our Savior

9:30 a.m. – Easter Egg Hunt (those hiding eggs are to gather in the parish house meeting room at 9:00 a.m.)

10:30 a.m. – Festival Celebration of the Resurrection, with special musicians, celebration of Holy Communion, and reading of the Easter story

Following worship, those who ordered lilies are invited to take them home.

May God bless you and your family with the faith, courage and wisdom to reserve and spend some of your time in worship and prayer this week. May the Lord of Easter new life breathe new life and joy into you! And, remember – someone you know may be waiting to be invited to attend church on Easter, so invite them to come with you!

In Christ's peace,

Gary
