"Maundy Thursday" - Thursday, April 17th at 7 PM
As we gather to partake of the sacrament of the Holy Supper in remembrance of the Lord's Last Supper with His disciples, we will hear a series of readings that discuss the events of Holy Week and their significance to each of us on our individual spiritual journeys.
There will not be an enactment. However, you will be invited to gather around a low table and sit on cushions and take the Holy Supper as Jesus and his disciples did. Benches will also be available.
All are welcome, though this service is geared toward high school age and up.
"He is Risen!" Easter Sunday - Sunday, April 20th at 10:30 AM
Celebrate the joy and hope of Easter with us! The service will be a Family Service format (with one message for everyone and no Sunday School).
In the Gospel of Matthew, after Jesus rises from the tomb, both He and the angel at the tomb tell the women who came to see Him to send His disciples to Galilee. Once there, Jesus gives them his final message before ascending into heaven. What is significant about them going back to Galilee to see Jesus, and what to Jesus's last words to His disciples tell us about how we should be living our lives?
Bring some cut flowers or a small potted plant to bring up to our chancel during the flower procession. After the service, the flowers will be given to local seniors through the Meals on Wheels program at the Rochester OPC.
Join us for this Easter series where we will be looking at the various things that Jesus did over the week between His Triumphant Entry and His death on the cross.
