Foot Washing on Maundy Thursday Four volunteers will have their feet washed on Maundy Thursday at the 7:00 service. In the years ahead, we hope that all members will participate in this sacred act that Jesus modeled for his disciples.
One of the most powerful and least familiar services in Holy Week is the Easter Vigil. On Saturday, April 4th at sunset (8:00pm), we will burn the palms from last Easter and light the Pascal Candle with the new fire. We will renew our baptismal vows in this sacred service as we prepare for Easter and the resurrection of our Lord.
