Noon Prayer with Holy Eucharist and Healing Prayer – Wednesday, April 13 at 12 pm
Clergy lead a short noon service in our Nave with Holy Communion and Healing Prayer.

Maundy Thursday – April 14 at 7 pm
We enter into the experience of the disciples stunned by Jesus’ insistence that he would take on the role of a servant and wash the feet of the others. Anyone who wishes will be able to have their feet washed – and wash the feet of others. The service will continue with Eucharist followed by the stripping of the altar (also livestreamed on YouTube Live).

Good Friday – April 15 at 12 pm and 7 pm
12 pm: We gather in a church that is so bare it even sounds different. We read the account of the Crucifixion, following the traditional Prayer Book Good Friday service (also livestreamed on YouTube Live).

5 pm: Liturgy of the Light in Sydnor Hall – a special worship service for children, ages 3 and up. The Liturgy of the Light is one of the beautiful experiences Catechesis of the Good Shepherd gives us. It is a children’s Easter Vigil service, and adults are welcome as well. Each child receives their own “light of Christ,” and we conclude with a simple Eucharist prepared by the children. We will celebrate the Liturgy of the Light in Sydnor Hall. Masks are required to help care for our youngest children.
