Throughout the Week
During Holy Week, Monday, April 11 through Thursday, April 14, the sanctuary will be open and available to you daily from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm (with the exception of Wednesday when it will end at 5:30 pm) for your self-guided participation. Individual prayer and meditation are encouraged at each of the twelve stations as the Spirit leads you. Take as little or as much time at each station as you like. Journaling is encouraged. On Tuesday, April 12 from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, we will have a group meditation. Through music, prayer, and meditation, significant events of Holy Week will be depicted and traversed throughout our worship space.)
Maundy Thursday
On Maundy Thursday, we will remember the sacrifice that Christ made during his ministry and throughout his earthly lifetime, exchanging power and glory for love and service. Jesus washed, Jesus served, Jesus taught, Jesus reminded. His Last Supper with the disciples in the Upper Room was characterized by the kind of ministry Jesus had lived, and his disciples never forgot those moments together. Indeed, we still celebrate and remember them today.
Maundy Thursday Service – April 15 at 7:00 p.m.
Good Friday
On Good Friday, so called because Christ fulfilled his ministry of reconciliation between God and people and brought about lasting forgiveness, even in the midst of a most inhospitable and unloving environment, again we pause to consider Christ’s suffering obedience, described in the prophets and summarized in Philippians 2:1-18.
Good Friday Service – April 15 at Noon
Each of these milestone moments along the way serves to remind us of what we can do to honor the Lord in our daily living: welcome him with gladness, walk with him in times of suffering, break bread in the spirit and sacrificial love of Christ, allow our hearts to be broken at the suffering in the world experienced by the ‘least of these’ and by each person whom God calls beloved child.
They culminate in a resurrection, a renewed perspective, the power of new life as we gather early on Easter morning to celebrate Christ who has risen indeed!
Easter Morning
Easter morning we have services at the beach and in church.
- Easter Sunrise service at 5:45 a.m. at Nauset Beach
- Easter Services at BBC 8:30 and 10:00 a.m.
I hope you will plan to join us throughout April and during Holy Week for moments of remembrance, prayer, celebration, and community, especially on the greatest Sunday of the year, the day which inspired all the other Lord’s Days, each Sunday of each week, little reminders and celebrations of Jesus’ resurrection living.
