What is the meaning of Holy Week?
Holy Week in the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a period of intense reflection and remembrance, encompassing the week leading up to Easter Sunday. It focuses on the events of Christ's Passion, from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem to his crucifixion and burial, culminating in his resurrection.
What is Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, commemorating Christ's entry into Jerusalem, where he was greeted with palms and hosannas.
What is Holy Thursday?
Holy Thursday focuses on the Last Supper, where Jesus instituted the Holy Communion (Lord's Supper), and his betrayal by Judas.
What is Good Friday?
Good Friday commemorates Christ's suffering, crucifixion, and death on the cross, focusing on his love and sacrifice for humanity's sins.
What is Holy Saturday?
Holy Saturday is a day of silence and reflection, marking the period between Christ's death and his resurrection. This is also a day where we have a reception of new members.
What is Easter Sunday?
On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the victory over sin and death, and the promise of eternal life! He is risen indeed, alleluia!
Children are always welcome in our church services. Here are some resources for you!
Nursery News:
Living Faith’s nursery room is staffed during the Sunday school hour. During the worship service, parents are encouraged to use the nursery room for nursing, diaper changing, crying babes, and toddlers getting out wiggles before returning to worship.
How can I prepare my children for attending the Easter Vigil Service?
LCMS Worship is pleased to offer a coloring book to help children follow along at the Easter Vigil. This special Divine Service — which includes fire, movement, stories, music, special decorations and dynamic lighting — is an ideal learning environment for children, who learn by seeing, hearing, touching and doing.
This Easter Vigil, come watch and revel together as a family in our Lord’s great history of salvation. Bring this coloring book along to help your children better understand this most holy night.
