GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN CHURCh
Sunday, March 24, 2024 begins the most important week of the year for Christians.
From palms to cross to empty tomb, we mark the events that are at the center of our hope and faith. Like any great drama, to skip even one act of the play is to lose out on the meaning of the whole. Don’t miss out! Join us this year as we walk with our Lord Jesus to the cross of our salvation and beyond.
PALM SUNDAY
Sunday, March 24 9:30am
With shouts of ‘Hosanna!’ palm branches and exuberant expectations, the crowds welcome Jesus into Jerusalem. But how fickle our human hearts, and how soon their cheers turn to jeers as he goes to fulfill his Father’s will.
MAUNDAY THURSDAY
Thursday, March 28, 7:00pm
On this first night, we remember Jesus’ final meal with his disciples before being betrayed to the those seeking to kill him. Not only are we called to a “new” commandment, that of love, we share with one another signs of that love through Holy Communion and a (optional) rite of foot washing.
GOOD FRIDAY
Friday, March 29, 7:00pm
The story we began on Thursday night continues this evening as we walk with Jesus the way of the cross. This somber service includes John’s account of Jesus’ trial and crucifixion. Still, a note of victory is sounded as we behold the cross by which Jesus has redeemed not just our own lives, but those of the whole world.
EASTER SUNDAY
March 31, 9:30am
Join us Easter Sunday morning as we celebrate the Risen Lord. Alleluia! He is alive!
THEN join us for our Easter Breakfast following the service, at 10:45am and the Easter Candy Hunt at 11:00am.
