Holy Week and Easter Services
It is always a joy to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with strongly attended worship services on Easter morning. Our worship services and fellowship time are excellent opportunities to invite our friends and neighbors to find a church home with us at ELPC as we celebrate Easter together. Yet, keep in mind that the good news of Easter is made even more relevant when we couple the empty tomb stories with the passion stories of the Last Supper, Jesus’ arrest in Gethsemane, trial and crucifixion anguish.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, March 29, and we invite you to recall the darkness and light of this church season. Consider worshiping with our faith family and experience all the richness of the Holy Week and Easter faith stories.
Worship with us on Maundy Thursday, April 2, 7 pm, in the Sanctuary as we remember Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. The service will include the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper and the stripping of the Chancel.
On Good Friday, April 3, Join us as we remember the crucifixion of Jesus through the Stations of the Cross. Our 12 pm service will be in the Chapel, and our 7 pm service will be in the Sanctuary.
The season of Lent will conclude on Easter Sunday, April 5. Together we will rejoice and celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection at Journey worship at 8:45 am, and Sanctuary worship at 11 am.. We will sing Alleluia once more, praising God for new life and liberation. We also will celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper at both services.
