Easter & Holy Week Services 2023

As we all prepare to celebrate the Good News of Christ’s Resurrection, St. Mark’s is joyfully preparing our celebrations of worship. Our services are open to all and are an excellent opportunity to hear and experience the powerful story of Christ and his followers through the last days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, and the miraculous event of Jesus’ resurrection after his crucifixion on the cross.

It is making real of the promise made to all that through Christ that we all have a place in God’s eternal community.

Palm Sunday, April 2nd, worship services are 9am and 10:30am. These gatherings include the blessing and procession of the Palms and include a dramatic reading of the Passion of Jesus Christ.

Maundy Thursday, April 6th at 7pm, we mark Jesus’ last supper with his disciples with special attention to our Eucharistic worship.

Good Friday, April 7th at 10am, St. Mark’s offers a solemn, powerful, and meditative service that helps us to retell and reflect on the tragedy of our human pride and brokenness that leads to Jesus’ persecution and death on the cross.

Finally on Easter Day, April 9th, St. Mark’s offers two services, 9am and 10:30am, that express our joyful worship of Christ’s victory over death with music, flowers, prayers of joy, and a message of hope and promise.

These services are outward visible signs of our gratitude as followers of Christ for God’s most spectacular gift of new life offered to the world in Christ. We hope you are moved to celebrate with us.
