Palm Sunday, March 24
8am Spoken Eucharist (in person); 10am with Choir (in person and livestreamed here)
Palm Sunday recalls Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem when the crowds stripped palms from the trees to pave his way, in the hope for a fulfillment of a messianic expectation that Jesus would free Israel from earthly oppression.
Our celebration includes the blessing of palms and the dramatic reading of the Passion according to Mark. You can find the readings here.

7pm, Commemoration of the Last Supper (in person and livestreamed here) with the St. Martin’s Chapel Consort.
At his final Passover Meal with his disciples, Jesus gave them the commandment “Love one another.” To demonstrate the meaning of this commandment (Latin mandatum – maundy in Middle English) he washed his disciples’ feet.
This service concludes with the ritual stripping of the altars in preparation for the starkness of Good Friday.
The Gethsemane Watch bridges the liturgies of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. We observe the watch from 9pm until Good Friday at 9am. The Watch commemorates Jesus lonely night in the garden during which he asked his disciples, “Could you not watch one hour with me?” We undertake to watch an hour with Jesus. You can keep the one hour of the Watch in person or via live stream – click here.
