We welcome you to Emmanuel for our Holy Week Services. This is a time of year which is steeped in significance. In the build up to Easter, we are invited to join with Jesus Christ as we walk the path of the Cross. Our services will begin on Palm Sunday (March 24, 8&10am) where we welcome Jesus into Jerusalem as our King then move to Tenebrae (March 27, 7pm) where we worship in the church lighted by candles and dimmed lights and recount to betrayal and death of Jesus. Then we are challenged at Maundy Thursday (March 28, 7pm) to be servants of all and celebrate the Last Supper. On Good Friday (March 29, noon) we come together with our neighboring congregations to stop and bear witness to the death of Jesus Christ and our role in it. At the Easter Vigil (March 30, 7pm), hope breaks through in the first light of Easter and we trace God's plan of salvation from the Fall in the Garden of Eden through to the Empty Tomb. Then on Easter Morning (March 31, 8&10am) we celebrate the joyful resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, the action with secures our faith. Then we celebrate with an Easter Egg hunt at 11am on Sunday.
We would love for you to join us.
