WED APRIL 1, 6:30PM: TENEBRAE: A meditative candlelit service of prayer, Scripture, and quiet music in 7 parts. At each part, candles are extinguished until, at the end, the church is in darkness as we lament the loss of the Light of Christ in our world … until Easter.

SAT APRIL 4, 6:30PM: THE GREAT VIGIL OF EASTER: A new fire is kindled from which all other candles will be lit. Stories from Scripture of God’s Salvation are read in darkness, and then we joyously proclaim that Christ is Risen with lights and bells. We then renew our Baptismal promises, followed by a choral Holy Eucharist (Communion) to complete our celebration.
SUN APRIL 5, 10AM: EASTER SUNDAY SERVICE: A Rite II Holy Eucharist celebration in which we joyously proclaim that Christ is Risen in word and song. We will renew our Baptismal promises and share in Holy Communion to complete our celebration.
