Holy Week
Holy Week
With Holy Week just a few weeks away, it's time to start preparing. This year we will share some services with our friends from Church of the Pilgrims.
Palm Sunday at Western!
With our friends from Pilgrims we will wave the palms, sign hosannas, and parade into worship on Palm Sunday at Western. The original parade into Jerusalem was political street theater, as Jesus led his followers to the holy city to confront the powers. We will follow Jesus’ lead and proclaim good news, justice, liberation, and peace!
Beginning about an hour before worship, we’ll have a sign-making party in the courtyard room in preparation for a parade of palms and signs and so-forth. At 11:00, we’ll parade with palms and signs and songs. Weather permitting, we'll walk out the 24th St. door and parade around the corner to enter the sanctuary from Virginia Avenue.
Maundy Thursday at Pilgrims!
We will mark Maundy Thursday with worship and a meal at Pilgrims. We will share the Passion story and need storytellers! If you are interested, you can be one of the people to help share the Passion narrative in worship on Maundy Thursday. Pastor Erin will assign parts. You don't have to memorize your piece of the story, but rather, know it well enough to share it with feeling. Make it your own! Send an email to Erin to let her know if you're interested.
Good Friday. TBD!
Pastor Erin and Pastor David are dreaming together. You’ve been warned.
