Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday, March 24, 2024

Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Collect for the Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday

Services this day are at 8:00 am and 10:30 am. The later service has music.

The worship service to begin Holy Week starts out with the triumphant of Jesus into Jerusalem. Hosanna, Lord, hosanna!

However, after this joy-filled service starts, things turn dark. We quickly escalate to the crucifixion of Jesus. This year, the Passion Gospel read is Mark 14:32—15:47. (The 8:00 service uses the shorter version, Mark 15:1–47.) The service concludes with us meeting our Lord in the Bread and Wine of Communion.

Wednesday of Holy Week (Spy Wednesday), March 27, 2024

Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Collect for the Wednesday of Holy Week

There will be a brief, spoken communion service at 12:00 noon in the Chapel at Church of the Redeemer.

Maundy Thursday, March 28, 2024

Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Collect for Maundy Thursday

Services today are at 12:00 noon and 7:00 pm. The later service will have music.

On this day, we remember that Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper before his trial. “Do this in remembrance of me.”

However, before we get to that point, we remember that Jesus washed the feet of the disciples before dinner as a sign of servant leadership. Jesus told us to serve in humility, too. So, this day, we wash feet. It is entirely optional whether you take part in washing feet. There are understandable reasons where some would have problems participating.

The consecrated Bread and Wine being taken to the altar of repose.

Following the service, the building will be open for prayer and meditation at the altar of repose until 10:30 pm.

Good Friday, March 29, 2024

Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Collect for Good Friday.

Behold the wood of the Cross.

There are services at 12:00 noon and 7:00 pm.

The altar has been stripped. All ornamentation is removed or covered, except for an icon of the Cross. We come to pray.

The Eucharist is not celebrated today. However, there will be communion from Bread and Wine consecrated on Maundy Thursday and was present on the altar of repose.

The collection at this service goes to benefit the Church in Jerusalem and Middle East.

Holy Saturday, March 30, 2024

O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so may we await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Collect for Holy Saturday

There is a brief service at 9:30 am. This service happens before people gather to prepare the building for Easter.

The Great Vigil of Easter, March 30, 2024

Almighty God, who for our redemption gave your only- begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

This Great Vigil of Easter starts at 9:00 pm.

Rejoice now, heavenly hosts and choirs of angels, and let your trumpets shout Salvation for the victory of our mighty King (The Exsultet). If any man be devout and love God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast (The Paschal Sermon of St. John Chrysostom).

Celebrate the Resurrection and our salvation at the Great Vigil of Easter. This service takes us through salvation history, culminating with “Christ is risen!”

You may not have been to an Easter Vigil before. If you have never been to an Easter Vigil, you should strongly consider coming to this service. It is that important.

Easter Day, March 31, 2024

O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

The services for Holy Week and Easter Day at Redeemer

From early times Christians observed the week before Easter with special devotion. By the late fourth century, we know Jerusalem contained sites for devotion and liturgy. Many pilgrims followed the path of Jesus in the days leading up to the Crucifixion. They formed processions, worshipped where Christ suffered and died, and venerated relics.

From this start, we observe specific devotions on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Day. The services at Redeemer provide an experience of the days leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday, April 2

On the Sunday before Easter, we recall Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and Jesus’ Passion on the Cross. It is known as Palm Sunday or the Sunday of the Passion. This is the first day of Holy Week. Worship services are at 8:00 am and 10:30 on Sunday, April 2.

The pilgrim Egeria witnessed the observance of Palm Sunday in Jerusalem in about 381-384. There was a procession of people down the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem waving branches of palms or olive trees. They sang psalms, including Psalm 118, and shouted the antiphon, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” We will re-enact this procession as we start our worship.

After the Liturgy of the Palms, the service changes abruptly from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the solemnity of the Passion.

Read more about Palm Sunday.

Maundy Thursday, April 6

Maundy Thursday is the Thursday in Holy Week. It is the first part of the Triduum, or three holy days before Easter. Worship services are at 12:00 noon and 7:00 pm on Thursday, April 6.

The name “Maundy” comes from the Latin phrase mandatum novum, “new commandment,” from John 13:34. The ceremony of washing feet was also referred to as “the Maundy.” This also commemorates the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus “on the night he was betrayed.”

The 7:00 pm service will include the washing of feet (optional for everyone) and the stripping of the altar to prepare for Good Friday. This is followed by a Gethsemane Vigil for about an hour: Can you watch with me for one hour?

Read more about Maundy Thursday.

Good Friday, April 7

The Friday before Easter Day is Good Friday, the day the church commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a day of fasting and special acts of discipline and self-denial. Worship services are at 12:00 noon and 7:00 pm on Friday, April 7.

In the early church candidates for baptism, joined by others, fasted for a day or two before the Paschal feast. In the western church, the first of those days eventually acquired the character of historical reenactment of the passion and death of Christ.

The Great Vigil of Easter, April 8

The Easter Vigil is the first and, arguably, the primary celebration of Easter. It is also known as the Great Vigil. This important worship starts at 9:00 pm on Saturday, April 8, running 2-3 hours.

The service begins in darkness. It consists of four parts:
- The Service of Light. This starts the service with the kindling of new fire and the lighting the Paschal candle.
- The Service of Lessons. This has readings from the Hebrew Scriptures interspersed with psalms, canticles, and prayers.
- Christian Initiation. This is the sacrament of Holy Baptism and/or the Renewal of Baptismal Vows by all present.
- The Eucharist. This celebrates the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood, and is the principal act of Christian worship. The word Eucharist is from the Greek word for “thanksgiving.” Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. Christ’s presence is also known in the gathered eucharistic community.
This liturgy recovers an ancient practice of keeping the Easter feast. Believers gathered in the hours of darkness ending at dawn on Easter to hear scripture and offer prayer. This night-long service of prayerful watching anticipated the baptisms that would come at first light and the following Easter Eucharist.

Easter Sunrise Service, April 9 at 7:00 am

Easter is the feast of Christ’s resurrection. The first service is at 7:00 am on April 9 in the Memorial Garden, weather permitting. If the weather isn’t permitting, the service moves to our chapel. This will be a smaller, more intimate service, to encounter Our Lord in the garden.

Easter Morning Service, April 9 at 10:30 am

Easter is the feast of Christ’s resurrection. The regular morning service is at 10:30 am on April 9 in the main church building.

Easter Day is the annual feast of the resurrection, the Pascha or Christian Passover. Faith in Jesus’ resurrection on the Sunday, or third day following his crucifixion, is at the heart of Christian belief.

This day starts the Easter Season, the Great 50 Days. It lasts until the Feast of Pentecost, celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit.
