HOLY WEEK AT A GLANCE

Holy Week at St. Paul’s has already been filled with profound beauty — moving liturgies, stirring music, and the quiet, sacred moments that draw us deeper into the heart of this story. From the waving of palms to a beautiful, (interpreted through art) Stations of the Cross, Tenebrae, and tonight's Maundy Thursday service, we have begun a journey that invites us to walk closely with Christ and with one another.


You’re invited to keep watch in the Chapel as we hold vigil with the reserved sacrament into the night. Beginning at around 7:30 p.m., we’ll take turns sitting in quiet prayer, one hour at a time, through 12:30 a.m. tomorrow. This simple, sacred practice offers space for stillness, reflection, and companionship with Christ. Everyone is welcome, whether for a full hour or a brief visit. Join us as we watch and pray together. There will be an anchor person sitting watch and security will be present throughout the evening. For those who wish to participate, please park on the circle driveway.


There is still more to come! You're invited to join us for the solemn observances of Good Friday and the quiet anticipation of Holy Saturday:


Good Friday Worship, Friday, April 3, 12 p.m., sanctuary; livestream available via YouTube and Facebook.


Holy Saturday Worship, Saturday, April 4, 9 a.m., in the Chapel of the Good Shepherd

This will be a short service that sits with the mystery of the dark hours after the crucifixion, which are rich in meaning and emotion. Devon will offer a reflection, using art.

And then — Easter Day. Join us on Sunday, April 5 to celebrate resurrection, joy, and new life. Whether you've been with us throughout the week or are just looking for a place to belong, you're warmly invited to worship with us!
