Holy Week Schedule
A listing of services at Northaven
Church
The following is a summary of the Holy Week
schedule at Northaven Church.
Look for more details on each of these Holy Week services in a special edition of Northaven Now next week.
Palm/Passion Sunday: April 9
Our Sunday morning worship will feature a grand opening Procession of the Palms, featuring our adult choir and children. The Music Makers will sing and the Joyful Noise Orchestra and Ringlieders Handbells will play.
Holy Week Musical Meditations
Our organist, Stephen White, will offer musical meditations on Monday through Wednesday of Holy Week. These meditations will be a wonderful time to experience the grandeur of the Roy Redmon Organ in its new setting. The meditations will last approximately 30 minutes, and are open to all.
Times for the meditations are:
Monday April 10 and Tuesday April 11: 12:15 p.m. and 6:15 p.m.
Wednesday April 12: 12:15 p.m. only
Maundy Thursday Worship: April 13; 7 pm
Our Thursday service will be a traditional communion service, commemorating the "Last Supper" and featuring the Chancel Choir and soloists. The end of the service features the ceremonial "stripping of the church" in preparation for Good Friday.
Good Friday Worship: April 14; 7 pm
Tenebrae, or "service of darkness," will feature eighteen scripture readings tracing Jesus' last hours, with candles and lights extinguished gradually. Music by the choir, organ, instrumentalists and soloists will provide meditative responses between the readings. Our new sanctuary provides a beautiful and creative setting for this extremely meaningful service of worship.
Holy Saturday Easter Vigil: April 15; 5 pm
Led by Shannon Hamrick and Bill McElvaney, this meditative service follows the movement of Holy Week. Jesus' death on Friday moves into the resurrection on Sunday. On Saturday, Jesus is buried; it seems that the end has come. As people of faith, we know that new life is coming, and that God is still present, even in the tomb. In the "tomb time" God continues to work in us and love us, making way for resurrection, even when it appears that nothing is happening. This time of waiting in faith prepares us for the new life that comes in resurrection. Saturday's service will offer an opportunity to join in community and reflect on where we have been in our Lenten journey, where we are now, and God's presence with us in the activities and in the tomb time of our lives. Come on Saturday to worship, reflect, and wait upon God.
Easter Sunday Worship: April 16 11 am
Northaven will have one service of worship on Easter Sunday, in an attempt to join our community in a single, large celebration of the holy day. The service will include Northaven's traditional "flowering of the cross" by our children, as well as festival music by organ, bells, brass and choir. All who enjoy singing Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" will be invited to come to the choir loft and join in the singing! There will be no Sunday School on Easter Sunday.
