During the Good Friday Liturgy, we commemorate Jesus' suffering and death on the Cross. For many, it is a day to fast and to set aside time for worship and prayer - time to reflect on our Lord's suffering and his victory over death.
Sunday, April 20 | Easter: Feast of the Resurrection
Flowering of the Cross
We will "flower the cross" just before the service on Easter Sunday and invite you to bring spring flowers from your garden. Extra flowers will be available so that everyone can add to the cross's beauty as we celebrate the Resurrection. We will begin the flowering at 9:45AM during the pre-service music and before the processional starts promptly at 10:00AM. Plan to arrive a little early to participate!
