Alleluia! He is Risen!

What a beautiful and worshipful time celebrating Jesus Christ's resurrection together!

We don't celebrate Christ's resurrection just on Easter, we continue the celebration in special ways for the next 50 days of Eastertide leading up to Pentecost! Come join and celebrate with us!

Collect: Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may, by your life-giving Spirit, be delivered from sin and raised from death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Blessed Holy Saturday! On Holy Saturday, we remember that Christ descended into the realm of the dead, as St. Paul describes, leading captivity captive (Ephesians 4:9-10). On this day, Christ has descended to lead a train of captives, once to death, into the risen life of his heavenly Kingdom.

Saturday evening we gather for the Great Vigil of Easter, conceived in the fourth century to ring in the dawn of Easter, keeping vigil through the night. St. Aidan’s gathers at 8 p.m., beginning outside with the service of light, processing into the candlelit sanctuary to hear the Scriptures proclaim the movements of salvation history. We hear the great proclamation, “Christ is risen!” Lights brighten and "alleluias” and bells ring loudly to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, accompanied with baptisms and the holy Eucharist.

We look forward to gathering tonight for the Great Easter Vigil at 8pm and tomorrow on Easter Sunday at 10am! Come join and celebrate with us!

Good Friday is here, join us tonight at 7pm for service! To be present at the cross on Good Friday, as Mary and John were, is to finally see Jesus’ glory on God’s term. He has won for us the victory over sin and death. His sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins has made the saving power of his blood eternally present to us.

Collect: Almighty God, we beseech you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Maundy Thursday is here! Join us tonight at 7pm for service as we reflect on how Christ gives us the ultimately example of humility and love as he, the Creator of the universe, stoops down to wash our feet, signifying the washing of our sin-sick lives. This is the night when Christ instituted the first Eucharist, known as the Lord’s Supper.

Collect: Almighty Father, whose most dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it in thankful remembrance of Jesus Christ our Savior, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Blessed Palm Sunday, come journey with us this Holy Week! (See pinned post for more details.)

Collect: Almighty and everlasting God, in your tender love for us you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon himself our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and come to share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
