A reminder -- at St. Andrew's Highland Park
On Maundy Thursday, April 18, we will gather at 6 p.m. in Brooks Hall for an "around the table" service of Holy Communion, as we remember "the night before He was betrayed and the Institution of the Lord's Supper." We are invited to bring an item to share for the potluck supper that follows the service. All welcome!
On Good Friday, April 19, we observe the Great Three Hours. An noon we follow a devotional Stations of the Cross. At 1 p.m., the Prayer Book Good Friday Service, with hymns, the traditional Solemn Collects, the reading of the Passion according to St.John, and a Good Friday meditation by our seminarian Hattie Taylor. At 2 p.m. the St. Andrew's Choir will present a Choral Service with the Heinrich Schutz "Seven Last Words," and with the chorales of the J.S. Bach "St. Matthew Passion." At 3 p.m. the Great Bell is tolled 33 times, reflecting the traditional number of years of Our Lord's earthly life.
