Holy Week and Easter at Cross Winds 

 

As we conclude the Lenten Season, we prepare for the final week - Holy Week. Having begun our celebrations with Palm Sunday, we set our hearts towards Easter Sunday. To prepare for the greatest day of the year, we pass through Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. This week, be sure to set aside time in prayer, study, and worship, as we gather with Jesus at the last supper, sit with him at the foot of the cross, await him at the tomb, and prepare for new life to emerge. 

 

Sunday, April 13th – Palm Sunday 

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, which centers around a triumphant procession where Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey while crowds cheer “Hosanna,” or “Save us.” Join us for Palm Sunday worship as we welcome Jesus, looking to him as our Hosanna, and consider what his saving work means for us today.   Potluck brunch following worship at 11:00 am.  Bring your favorite brunch food to share.

 

Thursday, April 17th – Maundy Thursday  

5:30 Dinner and worship  

Join us for dinner and communion at the tables as we gather for a remembrance of Jesus’ last supper with his disciples. This worship service will not be recorded and is available in-person only. Including dramatic monologues of Jesus’ disciples and music by the choir. 

 

Friday, April 18th – Good Friday Tenebrae Services  

Prayer services offered at 12pm and 6:30pm  

Gather at the foot of the cross for a traditional Good Friday Tenebrae Service. A Service of Tenebrae, or "Shadows," is an extended meditation on the passion of Christ, featuring readings from the Gospel of John and the extinguishing of candles. Services will be offered at 12pm and 6:30pm.
