Maundy Thursday Remembrance and Supper
Thursday, April 17, 6:30 p.m., MT Fellowship Hall
This multi-generational supper is a mosaic of beautiful traditions that we cherish from the past meshed with the new traditions we are making together as the Grace family of today. We will be led by Scripture as we walk through the final moments Jesus had with his disciples at the Last Supper. Serving one another with our very hands and actively participating in the evening, we will share this simple meal and count down the final days of the Lenten season together before turning our eyes to Good Friday. No childcare will be provided as we encourage guests and covenant partners alike to experience this beautiful family-friendly evening together. We hope that you will join us.
Easter Prayer Vigil
All of our covenant partners and friends are invited to participate in an Easter Prayer Vigil, held from 5 p.m. on Good Friday (April 18) to 6:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday (April 20). This 36-hour vigil offers a special opportunity to join together in prayer, reflecting on the significance of Christ's resurrection. We are looking for individuals and families to sign up for 20-minute prayer slots during this time. Whether you're praying on your own or with others, this is a sacred time to come before God in the quiet hours leading up to Easter. Sign up HERE and be part of this meaningful tradition as we prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter morning.
To help you focus your time of prayer, a prayer guide is available HERE.
Good Friday Worship Service
Friday, April 18, 7 p.m., Sanctuary
A solemn evening service for this, the darkest of days of remembrance. You will gain a new understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice and the reason for each day of reflection and remembrance during Holy Week. The service will make Easter even more joyful, as the darkness and reflection of the Good Friday Tenebrae service will remind us on Easter Sunday of all the many reasons to praise him through every season!
