As we continue through the season of Lent I hope you will join us for our special services of worship during Holy Week. The week begins with Palm Sunday on April 9th. In worship, we’ll wave palms and shout “Hosanna!” We will remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and then turn toward the passion of Good Friday.
On Thursday, April 13th at 6:00 p.m. we will have a different kind of worship service for Maundy Thursday. We will gather in Heffner Hall to worship, share a meal, and remember the acts of Jesus during Holy week. We will begin with opening words of worship. Then we will share a simple meal together around tables, like Jesus did with his friends. After we eat we’ll listen to scripture and a meditation. We call this day “Maundy Thursday”, from the Latin word mandatum, which means “mandate” or “command.” We remember that is the day when Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and commanded them to love one another. All are invited to participate in the foot washing, but it is not required. After we have heard the word and washed each other’s feet we will move up to the sanctuary where we will continue our worship in the Taizé style, celebrate the Lord’s Supper, and offer prayers at the cross.
On Good Friday, April 14th at 7:00 p.m. we will join with Oglethorpe and Shallowford Presbyterian Churches for a Tenebrae worship service. The pastoral and music staff of St. Andrews, Oglethorpe and Shallowford will lead worship together in the sanctuary at Shallowford Presbyterian (2375 Shallowford Rd, NE Atlanta 30345). This service will lead us through Jesus’ last days before his crucifixion. We will leave in darkness as we await the joy and light of Easter morning’s celebration of the resurrection.
We hope you will join us for Holy Week as we prepare for Easter
