Holy Week at MPLC
In this holiest week of the church year we walk with Jesus as
he journeys to the cross, the grave, and resurrection life.
Join us for worship!
Palm Sunday Worship
Sunday April 13 - 9:00 AM
Easter Egg Hunt - 10:15 AM
​
​From the shouts of the palm-waving crowds as Jesus entered Jerusalem to the shouts of the crowds calling for his death, we remember the story of Jesus' passion, his arrest and crucifixion in a narrative from the gospel of Luke.
Worship is followed by Easter Egg Hunt and activities for children.
Maundy Thursday
Thursday April 17 - 6:30 PM
​
We conclude the penitential season of Lent by receiving the laying on of hands of forgiveness. We remember the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples, and receive Holy Communion. We strip the altar as we recall Jesus' sacrifice for our sin.
Good Friday
Friday April 18
1:00 PM & 6:30 PM
​
This somber service recalls Jesus' passion according to the Gospel of John. We honor the cross of Christ, on which Jesus was executed. We offer prayers for the broken world for which he died.
Easter Vigil
Saturday April 19
5:00 PM
​
MPLC hosts an ecumenical Vigil of Easter service
in partnership with Lutheran and Episcopal congregations from Kenosha and Racine. This ancient service is an extended time of worship: We gather around the fire outside, recall God's saving history throughout scripture, and move from death to life as we await the Resurrection of Our Lord.​​
Easter Sunday -
Resurection of our Lord
Sunday, April 20​ 9:00 AM
​
The church's most joyful worship service celebrates God's healing, saving work through the resurrection of Jesus. With brass, bells, choir, and the sharing of Holy Communion, we welcome all to join us this day. You are invited to stay for a hot Easter Breakfast afterwards in our Fellowship Hall, beginning at 10:15 AM. A free-will offering will be received for the meal.
