HOLY WEEK WORSHIP

Not all services are held at St. Paul's Point Edward.  We believe in celebrating the Easter season with all our brothers and sisters, so services have been scheduled at different locations, please be sure to check.

Worship begins with a blessing of the Palms and remembrance of Jesus's entry into Jerusalem.  Palm crosses that have been made by the congregation will be distributed. Holy Eucharist is celebrated.

The distinctive ceremony of Tenebrae is the gradual extinguishing of candles while a series of readings and psalms are recited.  It is marked by a loud noise symbolizing the earthquake as Jesus died

The Triduum begins as we remember the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the ritual act of the washing of feet.  It is a symbolic action to remind us that we are called to serve and not be served.  The altar is then stripped in preparation for Good Friday Matthew 26:30-46 and Psalm 22 are read and as the last candle is extinguished the congregation departs in silence.

It begins with the lighting of the Easter fire outside the church.  That fire is then processed back into the church to the chant "The light of Christ" and symbolizes the light of Christ coming back into our lives.  We will mark this with Baptism and Confirmation and welcome Bishop Terry Dance to his church.
