Special Edition: Holy Week & Easter
Ever have a question about the Readings for Holy Week?
Holy Week is coming soon. The Moravians, since the 1770’s, has practiced a unique walk through each day of this journey to the cross with a medley of gospel accounts, later in the 1930’s they were paired with hymns. This beloved tradition provides the space for a meditative worship experience that we hope you can join. April 3 - 6, Monday - Thursday (7 p.m.), and Friday (2:15 p.m.). It will be in-person and live-streaming to our Facebook page as well. We are blessed with the recordings of the music and choral accompaniment by the Lititz Moravian Church.
But sometimes these readings during Holy Week puzzle us.
Do you have questions or are curious about a particular reading or passage in the Readings for Holy Week? Throughout our Holy Week services, we’ll take questions from our congregation to ponder together as part of a brief reflection each worship service before the Readings for that day.
Feel free to pick up a Readings for Holy Week book in church to read through and send us your question (as soon as possible) by email (janelrice3616@gmail.com).
Or fill out this google form with a question: https://forms.gle/x8DrdH5XUp2LsUQn9.
