Holy Week and Easter | All Saints Episcopal Church

Maundy Thursday, April 14

6:00 pm This service calls to mind the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his disciples through symbolic foot washing and an Agape Meal. Our evening begins with a communal meal in the Parish Hall that will transition into a time of music, storytelling and Communion shared at the tables. The service will then transition into the church for the Stripping of the Altar. The meal and service in the hall are family friendly and will be participatory and engaging for children and adults alike. Please RSVP to help us plan for the dinner.

Good Friday, April 15

Between noon to 1:00 pm Stations of the Cross in the Church: Come for an immersive experience of prayer, sound, and artistic renderings of Christ’s Passion.

7:00 pm Good Friday Liturgy. Principal Service of the day with sermon and music led by the Chancel Choir, the Veneration of the Cross, and Eucharist from the Reserved Sacrament.

The Great Vigil of Easter, Saturday Night, April 16

8:00 pm The service dating to the fourth century begins at the door of the Church in darkness with the lighting of the new fire, from which we light the Paschal Candle, hear the ancient Exsultet, and a dramatic retelling of the stories of God’s love and call to us. With the announcement that the Lord is risen and the ringing of bells, we celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter. Incense is used at this liturgy.
