The Triduum—the Great Three Days—begins tonight with the Maundy Thursday liturgy. In the setting of the Last Supper, Jesus gives his disciples a way to remember him and his ministry—the Eucharist, and he models servant leadership by washing their feet.

“Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week (the final week of Lent) and honors Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem as depicted in the Gospels. As Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, crowds gathered in the streets laying coats in his path, thus treating Jesus like royalty. they also laid palm branches, an ancient symbol of victory and peace, in the road.”
As we move forward in our transition at St. Michael’s, we’ll be holding regular Q&A forums to help answer questions
Over the last few months, I’ve met with many of you to learn about your lives, hear of the dreams God’s planted in your hearts, and weave a story of where the Spirit is alive at St. Michael’s. It’s been–you have been—a gift, overflowing with pain, honesty and hope. In one of these conversations, one among you reflected on their experience of this parish’s practices, and I scrambled to write it in my trusty notebook: ‘Duty does things well, but love does things beautifully.’
All are welcome for our Holy Week services, beginning on Sunday, April 10, Palm Sunday/Sunday of the Passion. Below is the general outline of Holy Week. Click “read more” for a more detailed schedule and ways to support St. Michael’s this Easter season.
If you missed Hannah Brewer’s in-person recitals on Saturday, March 26, and Sunday, April 3, you can still enjoy the YouTube video of this amazing performance, part of the annual May Dudley Memorial Concert at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salem.
Every St. Michael’s parishioner is invited to join in at least one session to share stories and connections and to hear many diverse voices across our parish about what we desire in our new rector and what the Spirit is calling us toward in the future.
Questions are asked and answered about our budget for 2022 in this Zoom presentation and hybrid forum.
