"No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, God welcomes you... and so do we!" At Cloverdale United Church, we affirm this gracious truth nearly everytime we gather for worship. And so too for the mystery and majesty of Holy Week and Easter Sunday. You are invited to join us for worship on any and all of these most sacred observances in the Christian calendar... no matter whether it's your first time here or your four-hundredth!
Please note that all worship services will be live-streamed (link to online worship information here).
Sunday, March 24 @ 10:30 am: Palm Sunday Worship Service
The service opens with a Palm Processional for all worshippers—beginning outside on the church grounds, weather permitting (worshippers with mobility concerns are welcome to begin inside the sanctuary as usual).
Thursday, March 28 @ 7:00 pm: Maundy Thursday Worship Service
Enter into the Supper and the Shadows as we enter the Upper Room, hear and enact Jesus' "mandatum" to love one another, commemorate the Last Supper and institution of the Lord’s Supper, and look toward the looming cross of Good Friday.
Friday, March 29 @ 12:00 Noon: Good Friday Worship Service
Remember the mystery and majesty of Christ’s self-offering for us as we join in prayer and reflection around the foot of the cross.
Sunday, March 31 @ 10:30 am: Easter Sunday Worship Service
Plan to take part in worship for Easter Day as part of the Cloverdale United Church, celebrating Christ's victory over death and God's victory of new life. Grand, majestic, and expressive... our 10:30 am worship service will be a joyful worship celebration for Easter Day featuring glorious music, scripture and sermon, and the Resurrection Feast at Christ's Table.
The celebrations begin earlier in the morning with our Easter Egg Hunt starting at 9:45 am.
During the egg hunt, coffee and light Easter breakfast snacks will be available for all of our community, as we gather in fellowship and joy. (This pre-worship fellowship time is in lieu of a coffee hour following the service.)
