Holiday Information

Holy Week & Easter at Trinity

 

Holy Week worship begins with a palm procession, commemorating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We are reminded how those gathered wanted him to become an authoritarian king and how Jesus came to draw us back to God through love. We proclaim that though Jesus is obedient even unto death on the cross, he is exalted by God. We gather to remember his offering for the life of the world, and to be fed by his life-giving mercy. This holy week will culminate in the celebration of the Three Days of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection. Be with us in our gathering!
