Holy Week & Easter Sunday

Reminders for Holy Week Services

Seating: With expectations of large crowds for Holy Week and Easter services, we ask that everyone please sit toward the middle of the rows and only occupy one seat per person. Please leave bags and other personal items on the floor under your seat. Overflow seating will be available on Easter Sunday, March 31 in the courtyard adjacent to the sanctuary with the sliding doors open as well as in the Chapel.

Parking: If you are a regular All Saints attender please try to leave parking spaces in the parking lot for our guests. Parking is available in the circle drive off Rialto Blvd. and on Terravista Dr. as well as in the parking lot of the J & J Services building across Terravista.

Livestream: All services (except Wednesday Noon Eucharist and Easter Sunrise) will be live-streamed and available on our YouTube channel or on our Livestream page.

Childcare: Childcare for 3s and under is provided at all services.

Palm Sunday, March 24

Palm Sunday is the entrance into what is known in the Church as "Holy Week." It is also often called "Passion Sunday." At All Saints, we use both and call it "Sunday of the Passion - Palm Sunday." One really needs both titles in order to describe the events we mark on this day. We mark the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem with waving Palm branches, a celebration! But we also mark the entrance into Jerusalem as the final leg of his journey as he draws near to the cross, his passion. Join us on this day as the children lead us in worship with a Palm processional and as the color of the season changes from purple to red in preparation for all that is to come in Holy Week.

Midweek Eucharist Service, March 27

Wednesday, March 27 join us in the Chapel at noon for a brief Eucharist service during Holy Week. The service begins at noon and is 45 minutes long.

Childcare is provided for 3s and under.

Maundy Thursday, March 28

The word "Maundy" comes from a Latin word "mandatum" that means "command." On this day in human history, Jesus said to his disciples: "A new command I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another." Jesus said this immediately after having shown them how they were to love... by washing their feet. It was also on this day that the Lord instituted the Eucharist meal by celebrating the Passover with his disciples and using it as a sign of what he would do on the next day, Good Friday.

If this is your first time at a service with foot washing, we've created a simple guide here for you to see how the process works.

Childcare is provided for 3s and under.

Good Friday, March 29

On the Friday prior to Easter, Good Friday, the Church traditionally marks the crucifixion, suffering, death, and burial of Jesus. Services on this day are a time of both somber reflection as well as preparation for the celebration of Easter morning. At All Saints, our service includes a dramatic reading of the passion narrative from the gospel of John, a brief homily, and a time of prayer. The congregation leaves in darkness and silence.  Although Good Friday is marked by sadness and mourning, it is not without joy. We hope that those who gather on Friday and leave in darkness will return on Sunday in the light of the celebration of Easter and the resurrection.

Childcare is provided for 3s and under.

Throughout the season of Lent you may have noticed a simple wooden cross standing in our courtyard. On Easter Sunday, this cross will be filled with flowers to represent new resurrection life! We need your help to make this happen. Bring a flower (as many as you like) with you to worship that morning to add to the cross on your way in.
