Holy Week and Easter

On Palm/Passion Sunday, March 24, we recall the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and begin to prepare for the events of this most sacred week of the church year. Children are invited to process into the
service with palms. They will meet on the front steps of the Sanctuary at 10:55 a.m. The service will be live-streamed, beginning at 10:45 a.m. on March 24; click here to worship online.

The Good Friday Tenebrae (“shadows”) service takes place on March 29 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. We will incorporate elements of our Maundy Thursday gathering into our worship on Friday through the celebration of Communion as we remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples before his arrest, trial, and crucifixion. This service follows the Seven Last Words of Christ through scripture and the slow darkening of the worship area. The service concludes with the removal of the Christ candle from the Sanctuary. See the bulletin here. The service will also be live-streamed, beginning at 6:45 p.m. on March 29; click here to worship online.

The Easter festival worship service on Sunday, March 31, will be at 11:00 a.m. The Christ candle will be returned to the Sanctuary to signify the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the light of the world. We look forward to joyful music led by Highland’s Chancel Choir, Brass Ensemble, and Percussion. All are invited to the Fellowship Hall for the Easter Potluck Breakfast at 9:30 (see below). The 11:00 service will be live-streamed, beginning at 10:45 a.m.; click here to worship online.

Easter Potluck Breakfast  â€“ Sunday, 9:30–10:30 a.m., Fellowship Hall
On Easter Sunday everyone is invited to gather for a special celebration and potluck breakfast in the Fellowship Hall during the education hour.  Please bring your favorite breakfast dish to share. What are breakfast potluck dishes? Well, how about fresh fruit, breakfast casseroles, coffee cakes, quiche, yogurt? The list can go on and on. Please bring enough servings to feed your family and a guest or two. Juice, coffee, and tea will be provided.

We look forward to sharing the fullness of this season with you.
