Holy Week 2013

Please join us for Holy Week and Easter Sunday.

Maundy Thursday (March 28th) 
Seder (Potluck) at 5:30 PM 

The Passover Seder is the meal which God commanded the Jewish people to celebrate annually in remembrance of their release from slavery. Bring a dish to pass and join us as we experience a tradition that was so much a part of Jesus' life experience

Holy Communion Service at 7:00 PM

Good Friday (March 29th)  
Veneration of the Cross and Prayers at 7:00 PM

On the evening of this day we call "Good," be present as we journey with Jesus to the cross.  Come and discover a love that is unmeasured, a love that transforms our lives and the very world in which we live.


All of this leads up to Easter Sunday on March 31st at 10:00AM. St. Ansgar's Easter Worship is festive and joyous. Everyone is invited to ring bells and add a flower to our traditional floral cross. Also, consider beginning your morning with a breakfast served by our very own church council. Proceeds fund camperships to Calumet for St. Ansgar youth. Serving begins at 9AM. Happy Easter everyone!
