Church of the Cross

Holy Week 2026

Prepare your heart and mark your calendar for this pivotal week in our life together:

• Palm Sunday, March 29, 8:45am & 11am: We begin Holy Week with our Palm Sunday Processional, gathering with palm branches outside at the front of the church to remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the coming King. But the joy of that moment soon turns toward the suffering and passion of our Lord, setting the tone for the week ahead. Nursery and Sunday School are available at both services.

• Maundy Thursday, April 2, 7:30 pm: A full Eucharistic service remembering the Last Supper, where Jesus gives himself to his people in bread and wine and teaches us his way of humble love. The service concludes with the solemn stripping of the table. Nursery is available. More Info >>

• Good Friday, April 3, 7:30 pm: Entering in silence, we gather to dwell upon the passion and death of Jesus Christ. We hear John’s Passion Gospel and move prayerfully through the Stations of the Cross, remaining afterward for silent meditation and prayer. Nursery is available. More Info >>

• Holy Saturday, April 4, 8:00 pm: The Great Vigil of Easter—our most significant service of the year—transitions us from the sorrow of Good Friday to the joy of Easter. We walk through the whole narrative of Scripture, with creative responses to each reading. Expect to stay up late! The Vigil is followed by a potluck feast (sign up to bring food here). More Info >>

• Easter Sunday, April 5, 8:45am & 11am: Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with us. We continue to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection during our morning services. In between our services on Easter, there will be a “feasting hour” starting at 10am (sign up to bring food here). Please note that there will be a Red Sox game in the afternoon, which will impact parking. Nursery and Sunday School are available at both services.

Parking info for these services can be found here.
