MAUNDY THURSDAY
APRIL 1, 2010
On Maundy Thursday the church celebrates Christ's institution of the Eucharist (Holy Communion). The sacrament will be celebrated using the format of Luther's "Deutch Messe". Worship begins at 7:00 P.M.
GOOD FRIDAY
APRIL 2, 2010
Worship begins at 7:00 P.M. On Good Friday the church recalls the Lord's suffering, death on the cross, and his being sealed in a tomb. The custom at St. Paul's is to use a modified version of the ancient practice of stripping the altar and sealing the church.
This is a powerful worship experience. The use of Scripture, sight, smell and sound are combined to vividly portray the sacrifice of our Lord.
