Palm Procession and Dramatic Reading of the Passion According to Matthew
The service begins with a reenactment Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, singing and waving palm branches. The excitement of our entry will shift to the drama of Jesus’ last days, with a dramatic reading of Matthew’s Passion, before we share together in the Holy Supper.
Holy Communion and Stripping of the Altar
As we remember this last evening of Jesus’ life, the night he was betrayed, we will partake with the disciples in the Last Supper. The service concludes with the somber Stripping of the Altar – a practice that provides a poignant visual of all that God gave for our sake.
Tenebrae Service
The word “tenebrae” is Latin for “shadows,” and indeed we will gather in candle-lit shadows to hear and reflect upon the Passion According to John, told through word and music. As the sun goes down and the candles are extinguished, we remember that dark day when Jesus died, even as we maintain the hope of what we know is coming next.
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Come and celebrate the resurrection!
