Maundy Thursday
April 09, 2020
‘Maundy’, deriving from the Latin word for commandment, is built upon Jesus’ commandment to his disciples that they love one another. The love that Jesus invites his disciples to embrace is modeled in Jesus’ sharing of bread and cup at the intimate dinner table setting of the Last Supper.
Attempting to imitate this intimacy in the time of coronavirus, St. Lucas Maundy Thursday worship will utilize the Zoom Call platform in a series of brief celebrations of the Lord’s Supper. Each celebration will be limited to no more than 20 participants. After a time of liturgy, scripture, and prayer, all participants will be invited to break something solid (a piece of bread, a cracker, a cookie – whatever you have available), and drink from a cup of something liquid (wine, juice, water, etc), and then virtually commune together. Each service will last approximately 10 minutes.
To sign up, contact Megan Ligeti at mligeti@stlucasucc.org.
Prayer Vigil
April 10, 2020
Since our current situation will not allow us to gather in our Sanctuary for the traditional Good Friday Prayer Vigil, we will be praying for every member of St. Lucas as we adhere to the social distancing recommendation. If you are interested in being a part of this prayer team for Good Friday, please contact Michele Ottinger at mottinger@stlucasucc.org and she will send you additional information and the pages from our current directory assigned to you.
Good Friday Worship
April 10, 2020
This quiet, reflective service will be built around the seven last phrases/words uttered by Jesus while on the cross. A brief meditation on each phrase/word will be punctuated by periods of silence. Prayers and appropriate music will round out the worship experience. The goal is to have this service available around noon on Friday the 10th.
Easter Sunday
April 12, 2020
The joy of God’s gift of resurrection in the new life of Jesus will be celebrated with joyous music, uplifting liturgy, and the proclamation of God’s overwhelmingly abundant love! The service production team is working to make this time of worship an auditory and visual and intellectual spiritual experience. The goal is to have this service available by mid-afternoon on Saturday the 11th.
