Welcome to Holy Week at St. Luke’s! We’re glad you found your way here, and we would love to get to know you better. No matter what your background or experience with religion, there’s room for you here. This is a week that offers more than beloved traditions; it also addresses deeply relevant questions and human needs.
Palm Sunday asks what does power look like? And who is this Christ? Is he a King? If so, what kind?
Maundy Thursday asks what does it mean to lead? How do we love our community? How do we know Jesus is with us? We will share a meal and worship around the tables as we remember Jesus’ last night with his friends, the disciples.
Good Friday asks Is Jesus with us when we suffer? Did God really let himself die? Is this what love looks like?
And finally, after the “high” of Palm Sunday’s Hosannas, the intimacy of Maundy Thursday’s meal together, and the stark reality of crucifixion on Good Friday, we come to Easter. Easter gives hope to all of us who have ever felt like giving up, who have wondered if a new life is possible, who have suffered from loss and grief, and who have questioned if there is more than just this life. Easter gives hope that in every end is a new beginning.
Let God meet you in the prayers, the music, the words and actions of this Holy Week. There’s a place for you.
