Holy Week and Easter - 2024
The rich tradition of worship, remembering the final week of Jesus’ earthly ministry, draws us together for many opportunities. Come experience them at Trinity and St. Francis.
It begins with a triumphant entry and a preview of where the story goes.
Palm Sunday - March 24
Holy Week begins during our tegular worship times of 9:30AM, this year at St. Francis in Youngsville. The service begins with a blessing palm branches that worshippers take home to keep in a prayerful spot.
There is not resurrection without this
Good Friday - March 29
At 5:30PM at Trinity in Warren, we follow our Prayer Book as it guides us in remembering what Jesus did and giving glory to God. Stark, quiet, and yet holy and beautiful, the journey of the soul is nourished by our Lord’s example.
Sorrow meets joy in the holy mystery of the night
The Great Vigil of Easter - March 31(8PM)
We gather at 8PM at Trinity in Warren for this ancient tradition.
Saturday night of Easter weekend invites the faithful to gather for what many find to be the most powerful worship service of the church year. Beginning in the dark with several scripture readings, we retell the story of creation, covenant, and faith. Taking time to remember our baptism, we then light lights, ring bells, and sing the praises of God who in this night worked the miracle of resurrection. It’s the first actual celebration of Easter!
Hallelujah! He is Risen!
Easter Day - March 31
The week ends where we begin each week: celebrating the Lord’s resurrection on Sunday! Gather for music, prayer, and joy:
9:30AM at St. Francis
