Holy Week & Easter at Muhlenberg!
Join us for Holy Week and Easter Sunday at Muhlenberg! First, we start with The Triduum - The Three Days - the ancient observance of the mystery of our salvation, which plunges the faithful into the death of Jesus and brings them with him to resurrection life. The Three Days is one liturgy, extending from Thursday evening through the Easter Vigil. You are invited to conform your life to the worship rhythms of the church on these three days:
Maundy Thursday - Thursday, April 17, 7:00pm - Power & Humility: we heed Christ’s commandment to love one another as we wash each other’s feet (service will also be live-streamed).
Good Friday - Friday, April 18, 7:00pm - Acceptance & Resistance: we hear the passion of Christ, the narrative of Jesus crucified and reigning from the cross (service will also be live-streamed).
Easter Vigil - Saturday, April 19, this year at 7:00pm - Darkness & Light: this is the high point of the church’s year, the night, the very night, the Passover of Christ from death to life. We’ll begin with the lighting of the new fire, process into the sanctuary as the Scripture comes to life through drama, then gather around the communion table to celebrate the first resurrection meal. Following the service, we’ll extend the celebration of Easter with food and fellowship.
Then, join us for Easter Sunday - April 20, 8:30 and 11:00am - Grief & Hope: Christ is risen, and through him all creation is made new! On Easter Sunday, in word and feast, we celebrate God’s unending love. Join us at 9:45am inside the MAC this Easter Sunday for our annual Easter Egg Hunt. In addition to the hunt and brunch, there will be an opportunity to have a family picture taken and printed, games, and activities for kids of all ages. (11:00am service will also be live-streamed).
