Holy Week/Easter Services at Watts Street

April 18, 2025

Palm Sunday

Sunday, April 13

11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary

As we wave our palm branches, we join the crowd who greeted Jesus as he entered Jerusalem and began the final week of his journey to the cross.

 

Good Friday Service

Friday, April 18

6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary

Livestream link

Through hymns, readings, silence, and confession, we commemorate the death of Jesus. During our Good Friday service, we will journey through Jesus’ final moments through the eyes of Peter. In Peter, we see a little of all of us—he is devout and resolute, zealous and rash, and even fearful and flawed. If any of us can locate ourselves in the crucifixion story, it is likely we can see ourselves in Peter. Through Peter’s experience, we will walk through the story of Jesus as he faces his crucifixion and death. The Chancel Choir will also lead in this service. If you are worshipping online, please have ready a blank piece of paper and a pen for use during the service.

 

Easter Sunday

Sunday, April 20

11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary

We gather on the day of the Resurrection, celebrating and anticipating an encounter with the Risen Lord! Everyone is invited to bring fresh flowers for the decorating of the Easter Cross.  We’ll also ring our Alleluia bells, sing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus”, and celebrate baptism on this joyous day.

The WSBC Chancel Choir presents “I Am the Lord of the Dance”, a cantata by Joel Raney with accompaniment including piano, flute, oboe, violin, and cello.  Narration by Daryll Powell.  Interpretive Dancer is Pam Guidry-Vollers.
