Part of our Moravian Easter tradition is to meet each night of Holy Week (or Passion Week, from the Latin word passus, \u201cto suffer\u201d) and read a portion of the events of that week in Jesus\u2019 life leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection. This year, we will be holding our Holy Week Reading services jointly with our sister congregation St Philips Moravian Church, which will greatly add to the experience! We sing stanzas of hymns that pertain to the readings, and use this time together to reflect upon the awesome events that were woven together by God to create the first Easter. We encourage you to set aside the time to meet with us each evening of Passion Week beginning on Palm Sunday to share in this devotional experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Palm Sunday Lovefeast Service<\/strong> will be held in the Trinity sanctuary; other services will be either in the Rights Chapel or in the Reich Fellowship Hall (see schedule below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maundy Thursday Communion<\/strong> Good Friday Cross and Confession<\/strong> Holy Week Reading Schedule\u20142025 Part of our Moravian Easter tradition is to meet each night of Holy Week (or Passion Week, from the Latin word passus, \u201cto suffer\u201d) and read a portion of the events of that week in Jesus\u2019 life leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection.

In recent years, we have held a special experiential communion service for Maundy Thursday in the Reich Fellowship Hall. In addition to the Holy Week Readings, we experienced Holy Communion in a different way. The participants were seated in tables of twelve, and they shared the elements with one another. It was a profound and moving experience, and we plan to use the same kind of service this year. We hope you will plan to attend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another recent development is our Good Friday \u201cCross and Confession\u201d service, which will be held in the Reich Fellowship Hall. During the somber readings, each person will have a time to write a personal confession, and physically nail it to a large wooden cross. After the service, the confessions are burned, and the same cross will be covered with
lowers for Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
