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 worshipping 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.
