Maundy Thursday 7pm pre-recorded from the Sanctuary.
We looked at Exodus 12… Passover guidance on celebrating. Our Gospel stories were all about Jesus sharing intimate time with the disciples – holiday meal, washing feet, the first communion, going out to the garden to pray … and then things take a sharp turn. Prepare your simple communion meal for home.

Good Friday Noon pre-recorded from the Historic Sanctuary.
We will share a mix of scripture, poetry, organ and silence to mark this dreadful day of crucifixion.

Good Friday 7pm pre-recorded from the Sanctuary.
Open your senses to experience what some young people have to say about beauty from brokenness. This is a difficult night. We will sit with the darkness a bit, see the light coming and make some plans to become more light.

Please consider signing up to pray for one hour of the 36 hours between Good Friday evening through the Easter Sunrise service. We can give you some ideas for your hour if you’d like.

[A number of you recently vaccinated PUCCers have asked if you can come to the outdoor Easter Sunrise Service on Easter. Our Covid Team has decided this will be our first in-person worship experience as we begin a measured and intentional transition period – with masks and physical distancing of course. We will have chairs set up for you.] Questions? Contact [email protected]; 314-872-9330]

Easter 10am pre-recorded from the Sanctuary.
Listen to varied expressions of the Easter story. How did that huge stone get rolled away from the tomb? Do we have the strength and spirit to do things like that? We will take another look at what Jesus has accomplished with his hands as we live into being Easter People modeled after his words and ways.
