Holy Week Services – April 13th-20th
Palm Sunday, Apr. 13th @ 10:45 am
We will begin the worship service in the courtyard before the Palm Processional around the church, starting through the main gate into the parking lot, processing by the intersection at Vineyard & Nu’uanu, and back into the courtyard through gate on Vineyard side, near the office. Scripture: Luke 19:28-40, Sermon title: “The Heart of Holy Week: Two Processions” (Rev. Fran), Gift of Music: “Palm Sunday” (Ukulele Fellowship).
Holy Thursday, Apr. 17th @ 5:00 pm
Our remembrance of the Last Supper will be with soup made by Davy Lee and bread by Linda Matsushita. We will have “hand washing” in place of foot washing, and conclude with a Service of Tenebrae (Shadows).
Good Friday, Apr. 18th @ 10:00am Labyrinth, 12:00 pm Service
The labyrinth will be set up in Miyama Hall. Scriptures will be from the Gospels, remembering Jesus’ last words. At the end of the worship service, we will clear the chancel area, and drape the altar & cross in black. The tradition is to leave the sanctuary in silence, mourning the Crucified Christ.
Easter Sunday, Apr. 20th @ 10:45 am
Easter Sunday Service with Easter Egg Hunt & Lunch in Miyama Hall After Worship. Our worship will be joyful with the addition of the brass quintet directed by Jordan Goto, and the choir anthem, “Alleluia, Christ is Risen.” Bring flowers from your garden if you have them to decorate the flower cross, and stay for the fellowship potluck after church. Bring salads, vegetables and your favorite desserts to share. Thanks to Haoa Morris for donations of ham and colorful decorations.
