Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, our celebration of Christ’s triumphant into Jerusalem.

Our 11 am service will feature the beloved Palm Sunday Liturgy, including the antiphonal singing of Christian Grogor’s Hosanna. The LOGOS Choir and the Chancel Choir will together sing Blessed Is He That Comes in the Name of the Lord by Lloyd Larson. At the end of the service, palms will be distirbuted so that we can join in waving them during the final hymn.

At 7 pm, we will celebrate a lovefeast together in the sanctuary, featuring Palm Sunday hymns and anthems, followed by the first night of readings for Holy Week. The Holy Week Reading Services are held jointly with St Philips Moravian Church.
SPECIAL SCREENING – ONE SHOWING ONLY – JUNE 23 – 7:00 PM
Captain John Newton
John Newton was a sailor so profane that the others on the ship called him “The Great Blasphemer.” Sold into slavery in Sierra Leone by his captain, Newton was eventually rescued and bought out of slavery, and given a commission on a slaving ship. He soon rose to captain, treating captive West Africans with the same brutality he himself had endured. But his spiritual quest came to a head during a terrible storm, and the “Great Blasphemer” found a new peace in God – and a dramatically new direction for his life. He taught himself Greek and Latin, eventually becoming a pastor and one of England’s great advocates for the abolition of the slave trade. He wrote the poem Amazing Grace while pastor at Olney, a poem that has become one of the great beloved hymns of all time.
Director John Jackman on the tall ship “Hector”
Filmed in Nova Scotia and North Carolina, this award-winning film captures Newton’s tumultuous life as he recalled it in his memoirs. Several actors who appeared in the movie will be at the screening! There will be a Q&A afterward with the director, the Rev. John Jackman.
