Holy Saturday

We hope you can join us for our Holy Saturday service, as we observe the final day of Lent, when Jesus was in the tomb and his disciples were in hiding. This is a somber service as we do the final preparation in our hearts for Easter. There will not be coffee hour before (but there will still be coffee and tea available right before service), and we encourage everyone to leave in silence after.

Parents, we will not have elementary and preschool classes but the nursery will be open.

The sermon is based on one or more of the scripture readings. After the sermon, parents pick up their children from the nursery before confession and the Eucharistic prayer. We take communion every week by intinction (dipping the bread into the cup). Please come forward with your hands cupped, ready to receive the bread, and request gluten free if needed. If you are not comfortable taking communion for whatever reason, you are more than welcome to come forward with your arms crossed over your chest to receive a blessing. After communion, we recite the collect of the week together, have a few announcements, and receive a closing benediction.
