The Triduum

The Easter Triduum invites us to re-live the passion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday are the three holiest days of the year.

Maundy Thursday April 17

7p Eucharist
This Eucharist ends with the Altar being stripped as we begin our journey through the Great Three days of Christ’s life.

Good Friday April 18

7p Good Friday Liturgy
We ponder the “Goodness” of this Friday with music, scripture, prayers, and the chance to come face-to-face with the hard truth that the Cross was necessary for our redemption.

Holy Saturday April 19

7p The Great Vigil of Easter
The New Fire is kindled, the Paschal Candle is lit, and we walk through the history of God’s salvation; Lent ends and Easter begins!

TODO —> Bring something to jingle, bang, whistle, or drum for The Great Noise. Contact Dean Eric@cotacola.org if you or a family member desire baptism.

9p Break the Fast Party
Lent has ended and our Easter Feast begins! Everyone brings a favorite treat to share as we are serenaded by our favorite band, the Flat Out Strangers. Don’t miss it!

TODO —> Last names from A-M, please bring something savory; last names from N-Z, please bring something sweet.
