Worship Service

Holy Week at St. John’s

Date

Mar 29, 2026 - Apr 04, 2026

At St. John’s, the seasons of Lent and Easter invite us to walk with Christ through the beauty and reverence of the Anglican tradition. In Lent, we turn our hearts toward prayer, repentance, and renewal as we follow Jesus’ ministry and prepare to behold His Passion on the cross.

During Holy Week, we enter into the mystery of His suffering and self-giving love. Then, on Easter morning, we rejoice in His glorious Resurrection—celebrating the triumph of life over death and the hope Christ brings to the world.

We welcome you to join us in this sacred journey as we remember, worship, and proclaim the risen Lord.
