Holy Week at PHLC

Join us as we prepare for the resurrection of our Lord on Easter Sunday.

March 29, 9:30 am ~ Palm Sunday & Easter Egg Hunt

To grasp something fully, we need to look at both sides. This coming Sunday is both Palm Sunday and the Sunday of the Passion. We join in the joy of the palm procession, and we gather in sorrow at the foot of the cross. Come to sing both “Hosanna!” and “Lord, have mercy upon us.” ~ From Sundays & Seasons

April 2, 6 pm ~ Maundy Thursday

This Thursday is called “Maundy,” which means “command,” from the verse in John’s gospel in which Jesus commands us to love another as he loved us. We hear about the Passover lamb, Jesus’ last meal with his disciples before his death, and Jesus washing his disciples’ feet. ~ From Sundays & Seasons

April 3, 6 pm ~ Good Friday

Why do we call this day Good? In John’s telling of Jesus’ passion, Jesus is “I am,” the God who reigns from the cross, the king who discusses theology with Pilate. Listen for the differences between John’s passion and Matthew’s passion that we heard on Sunday. At this service we pray for everyone we can think of, and we confess that it is our sin that crucified Christ. ~ From Sundays & Seasons

April 5, 9:30 am – Easter Sunday

What does it mean to be Christian? Christians are those who believe that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead and that he continues to enliven his people with his Spirit. On every Sunday we remember Christ’s resurrection, but once a year we have a blowout celebration of this central mystery of the faith. Come to celebrate with us. ~ From Sundays & Seasons
