Holy Week Schedule
April 10-17
Join us for our worship during Holy Week, as we contemplate the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All services will be in person and streamed live online (except for the Manuday Thursday Seder Supper event).
Palm Sunday
Sunday, April 10th at 10:30 AM
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. We rejoice with the crowds as Jesus enters into the city of Jerusalem, waving palms and shouting “Hosanna!” We will reenact this scene with palms of our own and shouting “Hosanna!”
On Sunday, April 10th meet Franklin the Donkey after service.
Maundy Thursday
Thursday, April 14th at 6:00 PM
This year our Maundy Thursday celebration will include the Passover meal as it was celebrated in the first century A.D. The Passover was a festive meal celebrating the nation’s release from Egyptian bindage. This night will be a celebration in the same manner as Jesus’ disciples did, reflecting and realizing the significance found in the Lord’s Supper.
This will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Tulsa
Good Friday
Friday, April 15th at 6:30 PM
Good Friday commemorates the day when our Lord gave his life to save us from our sins. It is a very humbling service, as we contemplate the cost that Jesus paid for our redemption. On this day the body of our Lord is broken on the cross and on this day no celebrations are appropriate. This will be a Tenebrae service which has a subdued tone with moments of silence for meditation on the magnitude of Christ’s sacrificial love.
EASTER
Saturday, April 16th at 6:30 PM
Sunday, April 17th at 10:30 AM
He is Risen!
He is Risen, Indeed!
Hallelujah!
Easter is the day of the resurrection – a joyous celebration of God’s victory over sin and death. Three days after he died on a cross and was buried in a tomb, he rose to life! Easter celebrates Christ’s victory over sin, death, and the devil, as well as the promise of our justification and everlasting life. The best day ever. You won’t want to miss it.
