Join us for Holy Week at St. Michael's!
Palm Sunday begins our focus on the death and resurrection of Christ as we listen to the story of Jesus' last days in its entirety.
On Maundy Thursday, we recount Jesus commandment for his friends to love and serve others. We remember the Last Supper as we celebrate Holy Communion. The Altar is stripped of its decorations as a symbol of Jesus arrest and betrayal.
Good Friday brings us to the story of Jesus death on the cross as a religious rebel and political outlaw.
The Easter Vigil service on Saturday evening begins outside around the fire. The ancient church gathered after sunset for the first celebration of resurrection, receiving new members through baptism, and hearing the story of the resurrection as the culmination of all of the others stories of God's redeeming and saving acts.
On Easter Morning, we celebrate that death has been overcome and the New Creation has begun!
