Easter or Resurrection Sunday is the most joyous and celebrative Sunday of the Christian year. We celebrate the good news that in Christ’s death and resurrection we, and all creation, are continually being made new by God’s love and saving grace. This good news is so good we celebrate for a whole season - 50 days after Resurrection Sunday - culminating on Pentecost Sunday.
This year Easter is Sunday, April 20 and Pentecost is Sunday, June 8.
The journey to Easter begins on Ash Wednesday. As we move through the 40 days of Lent, we may choose to praise and worship the Lord; to read the Bible more, and to pray more often, all in preparation for celebrating the most sacred of days.
Holy Week is marked by two evening worship services when we contemplate Jesus' final days on Earth, an intense time of joy, betrayal and mourning.
Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday worship focuses on Jesus' Last Supper with his Disciples.
Good Friday worship focuses on Jesus' passion and death.
