SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Maundy Thursday is a significant day in the Episcopal Church\, marking the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus Christ. \nThe day is celebrated with a ceremony of washing feet\, which symbolizes the love and service that Jesus demonstrated to his disciples. The service includes a gospel reading\, homily\, and the washing of the feet\, followed by the stripping of the altar\, which is a tradition that reflects the bareness of the altar on Good Friday. The liturgy for Maundy Thursday provides for the celebration of the Eucharist and the washing of feet\, which follows the gospel and homily. The altar is stripped and all decorative furnishings are removed from the church\, creating a stark and reflective atmosphere for the worship service.

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Easter Day is the annual feast of the resurrection\, the pascha or Christian Passover\, and the eighth day of cosmic creation. Faith in Jesus’ resurrection on the Sunday or third day following his crucifixion is at the heart of Christian belief. Easter sets the experience of springtime next to the ancient stories of deliverance and the proclamation of the risen Christ. In the west\, Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Easter always falls between Mar. 22 and Apr. 25 inclusive. Following Jewish custom\, the feast begins at sunset on Easter Eve with the Great Vigil of Easter. The Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Easter on the first Sunday after the Jewish pesach or Passover (which follows the spring full moon). Although the two dates sometimes coincide\, the eastern date is often one or more weeks later. \nJoin us for this celebratory service with Egg Hunt and Hat Parade to follow!
