Lent and Easter Season Worship Service Information
Readers Needed: We are looking for people to serve as readers of Christ’s passion in both the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services. Please mark your tear-off or contact Mary at 741-6562 or mmcwhorter@wepc.org to volunteer.
Maundy Thursday Communion Service
April 1, 7:00 PM
This service commemorates the night Jesus Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper, washed the disciples’ feet, prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, and was betrayed, arrested, and taken away for trial. Called Maundy Thursday, (from mandatum, the Latin origin of “mandate”) it refers to Christ’s mandate to serve one another, which He demonstrated by the washing of feet. We gather to worship, to remember His work on the cross, to celebrate communion, and to respond to Christ’s mandate to serve each other. Children are welcome, no nursery available. An offering will be taken for the poor.
Good Friday Communion Service
April 2, 7:00 PM
We encourage individuals and families to use this day to pray and reflect on the significance of Christ’s life, death and resurrection. This service of corporate prayer, Scripture reading, confession, and celebration of our Lord’s death helps us to consider and respond to the crucifixion and atonement of Jesus Christ for us. Children are welcome, no nursery available. An offering will be taken for the poor.
Easter Sunday
April 4, 9:00AM, 10:30AM and 4:00PM worship services
