Holy Week & Easter

Each Holy week we journey with Jesus from brokenness to healing, despair to hope, death to new life. As this is our second Holy Week during the pandemic, we need that healing, hope, and new life more than ever! Join in sharing these blessings in worship, in-person or livestreamed, during Holy Week.

Palms will be available for in-person and livestreamed worship (you can pick your palms up at church the week before Palm Sunday, March 22-26.

Maundy Thursday, April 1

Holy Communion

Drive-thru and walk-up communion will be available during the day (signup coming soon).

Firepit Vigil, 7 p.m.

On Maundy Thursday the disciples kept vigil around a fire as Jesus underwent his trial. We will gather in that same manner to remember the events of that night. Join us for our Maundy Thursday Vigil outdoors, gathered around fire pits (weather permitting). Our worship will feature readings and prayers around the events of that fateful day and night, and a celebration of communion with personal communion kits.

  • We will livestream this outdoor worship experience for those unable to attend.
  • Bring your own lawn chair for seating.
  • We invite you to stay after the worship for fellowship around the campfires (BYO smores and roasting sticks if you wish).

 

Good Friday, April 2, 7 p.m.

Hope in the Shadows

Hope in the Shadows, by Joel Raney and Lloyd Larsen, recalls Christ’s journey to the cross by examining the shadows of betrayal, injustice and agony that marked that journey.

It contrasts the selfish exploits of humanity with the divine nature of a loving God. As we take this sacred journey, may the words of James be a reminder of the hope which is ours: "Every good and perfect gift from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows" (James 1:17).

This 35-minute musical journey will be presented by a safely distanced and masked small ensemble of Immanuel singers and instrumentalists.

Please join us: Livestreamed (No in-person worship as most of the service is sung).

 

Easter Sunday, April 4

CHRIST IS RISEN! Join us for worship as we celebrate our Lord’s resurrection. After a year of quarantine, social distancing, shutdowns, canceled events, and missing friends and family, we are all in need of some resurrection! Come share in the good news of new life we have in our Risen Lord. Special music adds to the joy of this holy festival.
