Newman Church in Rumford invites you to celebrate Holy Week with us as we remember and celebrate the foundational stories of our faith—Jesus’s public entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, his service and humility in washing his disciples’ feet during the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, and his death and resurrection on Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. On Good Friday, Newman Church will worship with the Church of the Epiphany at their 7 pm service of Tenebrae. Through these five worship services we will seek to make the core stories of our faith come alive in our own time through sharing a meal together in the church hall during worship on Maundy Thursday, and finding God's light in an outdoor service with bonfire on Saturday evening. This Holy Week, we will orient to a new season of renewed hope and purpose as we depart the dark woods of Lent and prepare—with a renewed spirt—to be Jesus’s justice-seeking love in the world during the coming season of Pentecost.
