garden, the trial, the denial, and the death of Jesus. The worship

Lutheran, Episcopal churches plan
Holy Week services
“Holy Week is the most spiritual journey of the year,”
says Pastor Laura Snyder o f All Saints’ Episcopal and Hope

Sunday the congregations of Hope Lutheran, Valby Lutheran

Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to Easter
Sunday. The week long progression includes Jesus’ last supper
with the disciples on Maundy Thursday, Jesus’ trial and
crucifixion on Good Friday, the Vigil of Easter on Saturday,
and ultimately the resurrection on Easter Sunday. Holy Week
is a truly awe inspiring experience, which allows one to
participate in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in both a
spiritually intimate way.”
Hope, Valby and All Saints’ invite you to join them for
Holy Week. Their worship schedule for Holy Week is as
follows:
-Confession and Absolution Wednesday, April 16, at
