Palm Sunday
Worship Service
11 am, Sanctuary
Palm or Passion Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, celebrates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as is prophesied in Zechariah 9:9 – “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Palm Sunday.
Bring a piece of greenery, a branch or palm frond for waving as we celebrate Palm Sunday.
Good Friday
Tenebrae Service
6:30 pm, Sanctuary
The somber service commemorates the sufferings and death of Christ through special music, scripture readings and reflections. Tenebrae is the Latin word meaning darkness. During the candlelit service, the light is gradually extinguished to convey the sense of total loss of God’s presence and the effect of the death of Jesus on the universe. Worshipers leave in silence to ponder the impact of Christ’s death and await the celebration of the coming Resurrection.
Easter Sunday
Worship Service
11 am, Sanctuary
Easter commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus three days after His death by crucifixion and is the joyful conclusion to the Lenten season. The festival of the Resurrection of the Lord (or Easter Sunday) is the center of the Christian year. On this occasion the church joyfully proclaims the good news that is at the very heart of the gospel: that Jesus Christ is risen.
EPC has a tradition of “Flowering the Cross” as we walk into the sanctuary on Easter Sunday morning. Please bring flowers from your yards and gardens to place into the greenery of the cross.
