April 17th, Maundy Thursday, 6 PM “Agape Meal” & Stripping of the Altar  

We remember Jesus’ “new commandment” that we love one another as he has loved us. We will share an “Agape Meal”, eating together as recalling the meals Jesus shared with disciples during his ministry and expressing the community enjoyed by the family called in his name. At the end of a simple meal, we will celebrate Holy Eucharist and then go upstairs for the stripping of the altar in preparation for the passion and death of Jesus.  

April 17th through April 18th, Vigil

Church of Our Saviour will host a vigil or watch from Thursday evening, April 17th, until our Good Friday service at noon on April 18th. The Sign-Up Form is here, and open to all churches, so please spread the word. 

April 18th, Good Friday, noon, Good Friday Liturgy & Veneration of the Cross 

We meditate on Jesus’ death through the narrative of St. John’s passion.

April 19th, Holy Saturday, 7 PM The Great Vigil of Easter at Church of the Holy Spirit, 160 Rock Street, Fall River 

A fire is lit, and from that fire the Paschal candle, the symbol of the light of Christ, is spread. The first half of the service is in darkness, while a series of lessons describing the history of salvation is read, interspersed with psalms and prayers. We renew our baptismal covenant. Then the resurrection is announced, and the room is flooded with light, leading to the first Eucharist of Easter.
