Trinity Lutheran Church Holy Week 2023 Worship Schedule
Below is the schedule for worship during Holy Week. As we celebrate the greatest gift given to God’s children, the gift of God’s own self for the salvation of the world, we encourage you to participate in ways that bring the true meaning of Easter to life!
April 2 — Palm/Passion Sunday
We celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and his passion and death as cries of “Hosanna to the Son of David” change to “Crucify him!” Trinity is planning an indoor service at 8:30 AM & 11:00 AM. We will begin the services outside at the front entrance and process into the sanctuary.
April 5 — Prayer Around the Cross
Trinity will provide a service for healing and peace through Scripture and prayer around the cross provided both in-person in Hanberry Hall as well as virtually starting at 7:00 PM. This service helps to prepare us for gifts of forgiveness and healing through the events of Christ’s passion on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
April 6 — Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday worship will be held at 7:00 PM. We will begin in Hanberry Hall with a drama depicting the disciples at the Last Supper and then move to the sanctuary for Holy Communion and stripping the altar. The service will be live streamed.
April 7 — Good Friday
Worship will be held at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary as we remember our Lord’s suffering and death for the sake of the world.
Prayer Vigil Opportunity
Trinity will offer a prayer vigil following the Good Friday service through 6:00 AM on Easter morning. The prayer vigil is divided into ½ hour time slots, and our goal is to have someone praying at all times. You may choose one or more time slots. Please sign up for the Prayer Vigil at the display at church or call the church office to sign up starting March 26.
April 9 — Easter Sunday
Easter worship will be held at 6:30 AM, 8:30 AM & 11:00 AM as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and his victory over death and the grave!
Easter Egg Hunt
Our annual Easter Egg Hunt will be on Easter Sunday at 9:45 AM. We will begin in Shepherd’s Hall on the lower level with a short lesson and then hunt eggs. This event is for ages preschool through 5th grade.
