Welcome to
Westhope Presbyterian Church
Sunday Worship time 9:45am!!
We are a community of faith where Resurrection encounters our daily lives:
grounded in prayer,
living out love
serving each other
and engaging the world
Join us for the Power and Beauty of Holy Week!!
Maundy Thursday 6pm
Maundy comes from the latin term for New Commandment. As Jesus washing his disciples feet he teaches them of the commandment to love with power, humility, and in self offering. We will celebrate a traditional Seder Meal and then have a footwashing with communion. There will be a simple supper of bread and soup served along with the elements of the Seder Meal.
Good Friday 7pm
The service on this day of Christ's crucifixion will be a somber service of reflection and silence, candles and shadows in the style of Tenebrae (darkness). We will gather for a service to notice the Shadows that exist in each of us that kill the Light and Presence of the Christ.
Easter Vigil 7pm
The service will begin with lighting the new fire and celebrating God's salvation of the people through time. We wait and watch and prepare together.
Easter Sunday
6:30a We will gather for the Sunrise Service on the front lawn with brothers and sisters from Prince of Peace, TAPC and the Noel Presbyterian Church for an ecumenical celebration fo the Resurrection as the earth proclaims the movement from night (the tomb) to the new day (resurrection).
9:45 We gather for our community celebration of the Resurrection with a party and Easter Egg hunt to follow the service. Come and know the Risen One in our midst.
