Lent and Holy Week
Service Schedule
Ash Wednesday (Feb 18): Services at 12pm & 7pm
Lenten Preaching Series (Mar 10): The East End Churches' Preaching Series takes place every Tuesday evening in Lent at a different church each week. St Andrew's hosts on Tuesday, March 10 -- dinner at 6pm, service at 7pm (live-streamed).
​​
Palm Sunday (Mar 29): Holy Eucharist at 10am (live-streamed) with reading of the Passion. No 8:15am service.
On Palm Sunday our liturgy reflects the “highs” of welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem, singing with palm branches, and then moves to the “low” of reading the story of Christ’s Passion.
Holy Week & Easter
Maundy Thursday: 7pm, BCP Liturgy for Maundy Thursday
Good Friday: Traditional BCP Liturgy at 12pm (live-streamed); ​Stations of the Cross at 1pm
On Good Friday, we pray at the foot of the cross, sharing communion from the reserved sacrament (blessed on Thursday).
​​​​
​Easter Vigil: Saturday, 7pm (live-streamed)
The Easter Vigil is a different kind of Vigil—more like stories around a campfire. We enter a darkened church, after lighting the Pascal candle from the “new fire” of Easter outside the church and then we process in singing, “The light of Christ,” and hear the stories of our salvation from the Hebrew Scriptures.
Easter Sunday: 10am (live-streamed). No 8:15am service. Easter egg hunt to follow!
