Grace Lutheran Church Announces Holy Week Worship Services April 9 Through April 16

Grace Lutheran Church, 493 Forest Avenue in downtown Glen Ellyn, is offering a
variety of worship experiences during Holy Week, April 9 through
April 16. Palm Sunday Services are on April 9 at 8:00 and 10:30
AM. Both worship services begin with the Procession with Palms.
Grace is worshiping with Eco-Palms purchased through Lutheran World
Relief. These palms are harvested without clear-cutting, with the
communities that raise and harvest them receiving 5-6 times the pay
they would usually receive; this fair-trade practice improves
communities by allowing for better education, clean water and
improved health. Maundy Thursday and Good Friday Services are at
7:00 PM on April 13 and 14. The Maundy Thursday worship includes
communion and the Stripping of the Altar. Good Friday is a
contemplative service, featuring a full reading of the Passion
Narrative with Tenebrae and Adoration of the Cross. Call
630-469-1555 for information about these worship experiences. The
Grace Church office is open between 9:00 AM and 12:30 PM.
