Maundy Thursday | April 2nd | 7PM
Please have writing utensils, journal, and something to eat and drink for communion
On the night before he was taken, Jesus gathered his friends for a meal—a moment of love, of memory, of connection before the storm.
This Maundy Thursday, we gather differently but in the same spirit. Join us online for a Maundy Thursday communion.
Good Friday | April 3rd | 11am
On this Good Friday, we gather to bear witness to suffering—the suffering of Jesus, the suffering of our world, and the ways empire still tries to crush truth. Through music, storytelling, and deep reflection, we hold space for grief–both then and now–and find fresh meaning in his final words.
Join us in person and online for the Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ.
Holy Saturday Vigil | April 4th | 7PM
Bring a picture of someone you are remembering
“Silence tells me secretly everything.” –Flesh Failures (Hair)
Holy Saturday is the liminal space—the moment after the worst has happened, but before we know how the story will end. It is the waiting. The stillness. The unknown. The grief.
Join us online for a quiet, sacred vigil, a time of prayer and reflection as we sit in the darkness of the tomb. Light a candle, take a deep breath, and wait with us.
