Holy Week Schedule
Walk with us as we follow Christ's steps before His resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Maundy Thursday Service
|
April 14th @ 4:30pm
"Maundy Thursday services traditionally include a focus on the Last Supper, not only as the beginning of the Triduum (the Great Three Days), but also as the institution of the Lord’s Supper, Eucharist, Communion. In many places, a foot washing service is included, and the service often ends with the Stripping of the Altar."1

Stations of the Cross Walk
|
April 15th @ 9am
"The Stations of the Cross, also known as The Way of the Cross, are an act of devotion dating back to early Christianity, following the path of Jesus from his trial in front of Pilate to his burial in the tomb. Along the way, reflections and prayers are offered at key points in the story, focusing on the different aspects of Christ’s suffering, and asking us to mourn our sins. While the Stations can be prayed at any time, they are particularly appropriate for Lent, and often observed on Good Friday."2
For those who wish to caravan over, we will meet at the church at 8:15a, depart from the church at 8:30am to arrive at the cul-de-sac at about 8:50am. The walk begins in the cul-de-sac at the end of Centerpark Way, Prescott where we will begin our Stations of the Cross Walk. At each station, we will read the devotion for that station and pick up our "sin" in the form of a rock, place it in our bag, and carry it with us until at the foot of the Cross we lay all our sins/rocks. The walk is approximately 1/8 of a mile each way, is fairly flat and is traversable. There is no address for the location–please see the map; and if you desire, you can download the pdf. The coordinates are: 34°38'04.9"N 112°24'40.2"W 2. Reference: http://anglicancompass.com/praying-the-stations-of-the-cross-a-devotion-of-suffering-during-a-year-of-lent/ |

Good Friday Service
|
April 15th @ 4:30pm
"On Good Friday, we remember the events leading up to and including the crucifixion and the crucifixion itself. The Solemn Collects are read, with the leader requesting prayer for a particular purpose (like the salvation of the lost), keeping silence while the people pray, and then “collecting” their prayers in a written prayer. As mentioned above, Eucharist is not celebrated on Good Friday because this is the day in which we try to live in the reality of the brutal starkness of the cross of Christ. In some places, Eucharist is administered from reserved sacrament—consecrated bread and wine that have been set aside during a previous service of Holy Communion."3
