Holy Week
Prepare for Holy Week, a pivotal time that holds deep meaning and tradition for our church family, by marking your calendars for these significant services:
Palm Sunday, April 13, 8:45am & 11am: We begin Holy Week with our Palm Sunday Processional, remembering Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the coming king. This joyful celebration is then quickly transformed into the contemplation of the passion of our Lord that marks Holy Week. Nursery and Sunday School is available at these services.
Maundy Thursday, April 17, 7:30 pm: Our Maundy Thursday service is when we contemplate our Lord during the Last Super. This is also when the table is stripped after we share communion for the last time before Easter. Childcare will not be provided.
Good Friday, April 18, 7:30 pm: Entering in silence, we come together to dwell upon the death of Jesus on the cross. We read the Passion narrative from John’s Gospel, and we finish in silence and take time to linger in meditation and prayer at the Stations of the Cross. Childcare will not be provided. Please note that there will be a Red Sox game in the evening, which will impact parking. Nursery is available at this service.
Holy Saturday’s Great Vigil of Easter, April 19, 8:00 pm: This is our biggest service of the year that transitions us from the sorrow of Good Friday to the joy of Easter. This year we return to Boston Temple, and to keep within our 300-person maximum attendance, we are distributing free tickets. To get your free tickets and receive parking info, see here.
Easter Sunday, April 20, 8:45am and 11am: We continue to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection during our morning services. In between our services on Easter, there will be a “feasting hour” starting at 10am. Please note that there will be a Red Sox game in the afternoon, which will impact parking. Nursery and Sunday School is available at these services.
