Holy Week
At Portland Mennonite Church
Beginning with Palm Sunday, we will follow the way of Jesus through the shadows of Good Friday and into the stunning light and new life of Easter morning.
PALM SUNDAY / April 2
WORSHIP SERVICE / 10:45 AM (also streamed)
Holy Week begins with a procession and songs of joy. By the time the service ends we find ourselves on the way to Good Friday and Christ’s passion.

READING THE SCRIPTURES TOGETHER IN HOLY WEEK
Holy Week is meant to draw us more deeply into the story of Jesus, and into the meaning and hope of his life, death, and resurrection. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of Holy week, you are invited to join us in a practice known as Lectio Divina.
