Preparing for Holy Week

Especially as we enter into Holy Week,
consider setting up a worship space in your home.

Your dining room table, or another table, would be a good location.

The space might include:

  • a table cloth.
  • a crucifix to remember we are saved and forgiven in Christ’s death. For Good Friday, you might want to drape the cross in black or purple cloth. You can do this after the Maundy/Holy Thursday service.
  • a candle to remember we are to be the resurrected light of Christ in the world. For good Friday, consider having three candles to extinguish at times during the service.
  • a bowl of water to remember our baptism; this is especially appropriate for our Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday services.
  • and of course, your phone or tablet
  • for the Thursday service, a beverage and your evening meal or dessert.
