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.
