March 15, 2024 Everything You Need to Know About Holy Week at Dumbarton


We have so many opportunities for you to engage in Holy Week-related programs and services. Hope to see you at one or all of the following!

  • Palm/Passion Sunday Worship, March 24, 11 am: Begin Holy Week with drumming outside on the plaza and a Palm Processional at the start of worship (online and in-person).
  • Maundy Thursday Dinner Church, March 28, 7 pm: We begin in the Social Hall with a simple supper (soup and bread) with reflection and prayer as we eat. After the meal, this participatory and immersive evening of worship and contemplation continues with prayer stations for healing prayer, optional foot/hand washing, walking the labyrinth, and Holy Communion in the sanctuary (in-person only).
  • Easter Vigil, Saturday, March 30, 7 pm:  This vigil service begins as we descend into the darkness before the dawn of Easter morning. As we wait, we experience creative re-telling of the stories of our faith, a renewal of Baptism, and communion (Zoom only).
  • Easter Sunday Worship, March 31, 11 am: Come celebrate the Resurrection with joyful worship and lots of special music! Coffee Hour to follow outside on the front steps (weather permitting). A children’s Easter Egg Hunt will be held on the playground during Coffee Hour. (Parents: Don’t forget to bring a basket for your child/ren!)
