MAUNDY THURSDAY
March 29 @ 6:30pm
Maundy Thursday is when we remember Jesus' last supper with his disciples before his execution and how, even then, he washed their feet, giving them a "new commandment" (mandatum novum, the source of our word "Maundy"), that they love one another. In this worship service beginning at 6:30pm, we'll have an opportunity to experience the gift of foot-washing, as well as holy communion—and a light potluck dinner of Mediterranean-style foods—shared together around tables. This multi-sensory service is good for families. Sign up online to let us know what you're bringing.

GOOD FRIDAY
March 30 @ 6-7pm
Good Friday is an oxymoron. The cross is not good. But God is. This is a time to reflect on just how far God is willing to go to love us into justice, peace, and compassion: all the way to death, even death on a cross. As a result, we are called to stand in solidarity with all who suffer and to remember God is with us in our own suffering, too. Rather than a sit-down worship service, we’ll have a series of non-traditional "stations of the cross" suitable for all ages through which we can enter into the story ourselves, via music and art, crafts and projects and prayers. You are invited to come share the whole hour or any portion thereof.

HOLY SATURDAY
March 31 @ 7pm
This is a day to remember the disciples’ experience of Jesus dead and buried in the tomb, and an opportunity for us to imagine how our lives and our world would be different without the living presence of God with us in Christ, without love or hope at all—sadly a present reality for all too many in the world. It's a service of quiet contemplation and intimate prayer.
