HOLY WEEk & EASTER

Schedule of events and services for the weeks of Holy Week and Easter 2025.

 
 

Palm Sunday Service In the Sanctuary at Temple Bat Yahm Sunday, April 13th 10:00am 

On this day we celebrate the King who rode a donkey yet acknowledged the pain to come. The service is created to help us enter into Holy Week and prepare for the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is also a joy for our children to participate in our annual Children’s Palm Processional after the Gospel reading and prior sermon.

 

Maundy Thursday Service In the Sanctuary at Temple Bat Yahm Thursday, April 17th, 7:00pm

This is a beautiful and solemn service that will focus your mind and grip your heart. After singing, silence, and a short meditation on a passage of scripture, we take the Lord’s Supper, prayerfully and seated at tables. For many, this is one of the most powerful and rich communion experiences of the year. At the conclusion of the service the communion tables are ceremonially stripped, and we leave in silence and darkness. Symbolically this darkness and silence is broken with the shout of “He is risen!” at the opening of our Easter worship the following Sunday. Like our Ash Wednesday service, we are excited to have this service be a joint worship service with Trinity OC and New Life Irvine.

*There will be no childcare available for this service.

 

Good Friday Service New Life Irvine at Beacon Park School 200 Cultivate, Irvine, CA 92618 Friday, April 18th, 7:00pm

Good Friday is the day in which the Church commemorates the crucifixion, suffering, death, and burial of Jesus. The service will be a time of both somber reflection as well as preparation for the celebration of Easter morning. There will be readings of the passion narrative, songs, a brief homily, and times of prayer. Like Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday, this service will be a joint worship service with Trinity OC and New Life Irvine

*There will be no childcare available for this service.

 

Easter Sunday Service & Celebration
In the Sanctuary at Temple Bat Yahm Sunday, April 20th 10:00am

Our Easter service is a rich celebration of joy, where the despair of death feels before the bursting forth of new life. It is the climax of the Church Calendar and a great opportunity to invite friends, family, and neighbors to worship and celebrate with us! After the service all are invited to enjoy some light refreshments and there will be an Easter Egg hunt and activities for the children on the lawn.
