​
3/30—Contemplative Anointing Service at 6:00 p.m. Right before Jesus’ final entrance into Jerusalem, he stops in Bethany where Mary the Magdalene anoints him with costly perfume. In honor of this act of love, we offer a service during Holy Week where we remember that anointing, and Mary’s presence accompanying Jesus at his crucifixion, at the tomb, and at the resurrection. The liturgy, written by the Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, includes readings, contemplative chant, silence, and anointing one another. As we remember Christ’s anointing and experience our own, we are drawn more deeply toward the heart of divine love and place Mary the Magdalene back in her rightful place as a central figure in Holy Week as one of Jesus’ apostles.

4/2—Stations of the Cross—Good Friday, April 3 •11:30 a.m.
From as early as the fourth century, pilgrims have traveled to Jerusalem to walk in the footsteps of Jesus as he made his way from the trial with Pontius Pilate to the cross and to the tomb for his burial. This day we walk the Stations of the Cross as a mini-pilgrimage in prayer and contemplation. The stations at Epiphany were created by former parishioner and talented artist Jim Stevens. We hope that these carvings and prayers will help you to approach the way of the cross with a special reverence.
​
4/3—The Good Friday Service takes place at 12:00 p.m. The offering for the day will go to the support the ministry of the dioceses of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. Our contributions are used to assist them to promote peace and mutual understanding and education programs throughout the region. You can learn more and donate directly at the national website or by cash or checking, noting “Good Friday Offering” in the memo.
