Holy Week and Easter at Saint Matthew Lutheran Church, Moorestown NJ
This April, we walk together through the sacred rhythms of Lent and Holy Week—from the hopeful branches of Palm Sunday (April 13) to the solemn shadows of Maundy Thursday (April 17) and Good Friday (April 18), and finally to the glorious dawn of Easter Sunday (April 20). Along the way, join us for Evening Prayer, contemplative stillness, and meaningful worship as we prepare our hearts for Christ’s resurrection. Whether you carry a palm or a local branch, pray in silence or song, or gather at sunrise or supper, all are welcome to journey with us. See below for full details—we hope to see you there!
Slow Down and Be Aware of God in Our Midst
Contemplative Prayer
Take a few minutes to sit with God together in our monthly Contemplative Prayer group. No experience required. It is a time to slow down and be aware of God in our midst. This month the group will meet on Wednesday, April 16 at 3:00. Those who wish to join by Zoom can contact Pastor Eric or find the link in the Tuesday email April 15.
