Palm Sunday

Over Zoom we will wave our greenery (houseplants included!) and remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week.
Maundy Thursday
Thursday, April 1st at 7:00pm
via Zoom (please email office@churchofthetransfiguration.ca for link)
When we gather on this first night of the Triduum, we remember Jesus’ last meal with his followers before his execution the next day (traditionally this is called the Institution of the Lord’s Supper). We also remember an odd thing Jesus did that same night: he washed his disciples’ feet.
This ritual washing of feet reminds us how Jesus came to serve in love and that he invites us to join him. The service concludes in darkness as the sanctuary is stripped bare of any sign or symbol. At the end, the congregation sits in silence, remembering the lonely path that led Jesus to the cross.
Good Friday
Friday, April 2nd at 7:00pm
via Zoom (please email office@churchofthetransfiguration.ca for link)
The Good Friday liturgy is one of the very few services throughout the year where we do not celebrate the Eucharist. This solemn liturgy draws us into the darkness of Good Friday, reflecting on the scandal of Jesus’ death on the cross — the moment when hope seemed to die. We spend our time in prayer and silence, leaning deeper into Holy Week.
Easter Sunday
Sunday, April 4th at 10:30am
via Zoom (please email office@churchofthetransfiguration.ca for link)
Easter is the pinnacle of the church year. Today we gather in full force to celebrate the surprise of Christ’s resurrection from the dead.
Flowers bloom, the music lifts us into joy, and we proclaim together once again that death does not have the last word: “Alleluia, Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!”
