A meme was spotted online the other day that said, "This is the Lentiest Lent I've ever had." Perhaps you saw that yourself. Perhaps you can relate! Lent is a time of self-sacrifice and we have all sacrificed a lot as an act of radical love for our neighbors.
Now we come to Holy Week, a time to recognize the greatest sacrifice that Jesus made for us.
Holy Week services provide a liturgical experience of the last days of Jesus' earthly life, as well as the time and events leading up to his resurrection. Christ Church has a long tradition of offering meaningful opportunities for worship, prayer, and self-reflection during Holy Week. This year may "look" different, yet we are still going to gather -- online -- for special worship experiences throughout the week. Please make plans to participate as we experience sacrifice, love, death, and rebirth together.
HOLY WEEK AND EASTER WORSHIP SCHEDULE
Links to videos and resources will be shared each day.
