What is Holy Week?

Holy Week is the week leading up to Easter, when we re-enact the key events of Jesus' last week of life. In special services, we contrast the public acclaim of Palm Sunday, with the betrayal of the Last Supper, the darkness of Good Friday with the joy of Easter.

Begin Holy Week with us on Palm Sunday as we remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

9:00 am Pam Sunday

The Easter Season (April 24 - May 31)

An empty tomb astonishes Mary Magdalene and the other disciples on Easter morning, and Jesus is soon discovered in the community, alive and present in a new way, especially in the “breaking of the bread.” Easter Sunday begins a season of fifty days celebration of Jesus’ new life.      -ucc.org/worship-ways/

April 24: The first Sunday after Easter, we will celebrate Earth Day and Climate Justice, at worship and the forum.
