Holy Saturday
Saturday, April 16, 9:30 am
This brief liturgy recalls the burial of Jesus. We also bless a new paschal candle to light at the Easter Vigil. We gather in the columbarium, or in the chapel in case of rain.
Easter Vigil 
Saturday, April 16, 6:30 pm
We gather outside to kindle a new fire and welcome the light of Christ. We enter a darkened nave and hear the words of the Exsultet while we light candles from the new paschal candles. We hear lessons and a sermon in darkness, and then turn on the lights to welcome Easter and celebrate baptism. The Nursery will open at 6:15. Children will go to children’s chapel during the lessons and sermon and return for baptism and Eucharist. We expect rain during the day on Saturday so we will gather in the Narthex and reception in the Parish Hall.
Easter Sunday Services
Sunday, April 17, 9 & 11 am in the Nave and online
Two nearly identical services at 9 am (no incense) and 11 am (with incense) with brass and glorious music to celebrate the risen Christ. A simple breakfast will be available outside and in the parish hall between services. Children and families are invited to flower the cross outside as you arrive. Nursery care and children’s chapel will be available at both services. Services livestreamed here.
