Wednesday, March 28^th —7PM.  A Service of Tenebrae. This service focuses on words that Jesus would have prayed during the suffering in his own life. Yet his faith in God remained. The use of light in this service is powerful. The altar is covered with candles, and after each reading, the light from one candle is quenched. By the end of the service, all of the light has gone, just as the sky grew dark at the hour of the crucifixion. 

Thursday , March 29^th— 5PM.  A First Century Passover Haggadah and covered dish dinner.  7 PM Maundy Thursday Service.  At this service, we focus on the institution of Holy Eucharist, given to us by Jesus at the Last Supper, the gift of love in the sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood. At the end of the service we follow Jesus and the disciples into the Garden of Gethsemane as the altar is stripped. 

Friday, March 30^th —7PM.  Good Friday Service.  This service is a time of prayer and reflection on own sinfulness as we meditate on Christ’s passion and death. A powerful visual image for this service is the large wooden cross which will be brought into the church by the acolyte and that towers above us throughout the service as it rests on the altar, a symbol of God’s love and sacrifice for us. 

Saturday, March 30^th — 7^th Community Dinner. 2pm-4pm at the Firehouse.  If you can assist with this event, please come to the fire house by 1:00 pm. 

Sunday, March 31^st — 7AM.  Port Royal Sunrise Service at the Longs 

Sunday, March 31^st —11AM. Festive Easter Service. The service will begin with the lighting the paschal flame. We will carry the light of our Risen Lord and Savior into the church. We will light the paschal candle with the light from the paschal flame. And during this service, we will celebrate the new life available to all of us through the resurrection of Jesus.
