Holy Week Details

The Way is excited about celebrating its first Easter together in just a few short weeks! There is much in the works as we progress through the Lenten season and prepare for resurrection morning. And in case you haven't heard, here are the official details regarding our Holy Week gatherings:

April 1st - Maundy Thursday, 6:30pm-8:30pm, Wimmerton Community Center - "A favorite food item potluck"

Maundy Thursday (a.k.a. Shire Thursday and Holy Thursday) is a commemoration of Christ's last supper and the initiation of The Good Gift (Holy Communion). Just as Christ's last supper was a great feast celebrating God's mercy during the Passover season, this gathering of our church family will be centered around a huge meal. Every person in attendance is encouraged to bring their most favorite food item with enough to share with a few people. And we will spend the evening as Jesus and His disciples did at the last supper, feasting on our favorite foods, laughing, enjoying one another's company, and remembering God's great mercy extended to all who come unto Him. The evening will conclude with the presentation of The Good Gift in the communion elements. Come hungry and ready to relax, this gathering is about food, fun, and thanksgiving.

April 2nd - Good Friday, 7:00-8:00pm, Wimmerton Community Center - "Tenebrae"

Good Friday (a.k.a. Black Friday and Holy Friday) is observed to remember the crucifixion of Christ and the events that led up to His death at Golgotha. This worship gathering will be a somber, reverent step-by-step Scriptural journey to the cross of Christ, to think on His death and the events that transpired in the hours just prior to His crucifixion. This Tenebrae service with The Way will be a liturgical walk through scripture with moments of music and meditation.

We hope that you'll mark your calendars and bring your friends to join us for these Holy Week services. We are anticipating a wonderful time of fellowship and worship this Lenten/Easter season. Grace and Peace be with you.
