Holy Week @ Home
Welcome to Holy Week at Home! This week during the church year is at the heart of what we believe, yet we are not able to gather as a church community in one place during this time. Therefore, we have created a way for us to learn, worship and celebrate together. In the links below, you will find scripture, activities and prayers for each milestone during Holy Week. You will notice that we have provided materials for different family structures. Please use the one that is most appropriate for you! Additional scriptures, materials and links to videos that you can use at your discretion throughout the week are also enclosed. As you complete the activities throughout the week, please take a picture to share with us!

New Worship Aid Website
A church with such a long history (500+ years as Lutherans and 2000-ish years as Christians) can be quite intimidating for newcomers. Even for long-time Lutherans, all the symbols, traditions, parts of worship, and history can be overwhelming. In this section, we offer resources for better understanding our church and faith.
