St. Andrew's Lutheran Church
Holy Week
​In the Lutheran tradition, Holy Week commemorates the events of Jesus' last week, including his entry into Jerusalem, his Last Supper, his crucifixion, and his resurrection, through special liturgies and reflections.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, commemorating Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, often with a procession and the waving of palm branches. We begin our service in the courtyard and process around the building into the sanctuary, waving palm fronds and singing songs of praise.

Maundy Thursday is a day that focuses on the experience of Jesus' final hours with his community. Some churches focus on the Last Supper, where Jesus instituted the sacrament of Holy Communion and washed his disciples' feet, emphasizing love and service. Our special evening service focuses on our experiences of love in community through a series of contemplative exercises and grounding. In the stillness we listen for God's voice in our lives.

God’s closeness is revealed in the extreme vulnerability and injustice of Jesus' execution. God is always present in our bleakest times. Our special evening service uses moving music, light, and shadows to focus our attention on Jesus' execution and burial. We know grief well and this service helps us prepare for the contrast of Easter morning.

Easter Sunday celebrates Jesus' resurrection, the central event of our Christian faith, with joyous worship and the proclamation of "He is risen!" Our joyful morning service includes readings focused on the resurrection, jubilant hymns and special music, scavenger hunts for kids and adults, and a delicious community meal.
Join us for some or all of this week as we remember Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and
reflect on his call to love and serve others.
