Holy Week and Easter Schedule, March 29th - April 5th, 2026
Palm Sunday, March 29th, 11 a.m....
Each year in the Christian calendar on the Sunday prior to Easter, we commemorate Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, where the crowds recognized and praised him as the expected Messiah, the Savior, and the King of Israel; as always, palm branches will be shared with all worshipers, in honor of this tradition.
Maundy Thursday, April 2nd, 7 p.m....
A reverent worship service in an intimate recreation of the Last Supper in the sanctuary, including celebration of the Lord's Supper "in remembrance of him"; followed by our Tennebrae (shadows) commemoration of Jesus' last words from the cross, as we darken the sanctuary before we part.
Good Friday, April 3rd, 7 p.m...@ Fourth Ave. Presbyterian
UCBR traditionally does not hold a worship service on-site on Good Friday, but we have for many years been extended an invitation to attend the service held at Fourth Ave. Presbyterian. This is a more solemn and reflective worship remembering Christ's crucifixion and observing the Seven Last Words of Christ from the cross.
Resurrection of the Lord/Easter Sunday, April 5th, 11 a.m...
We hope to see everyone come out for our highest holy day in the Christian faith, the joyful celebration of the defeat of sin and death in the resurrection of Christ, and our new life in him! After worship of our risen Lord, the kids will have an Easter egg hunt in the side garden at coffee hour.
