Lent & Holy Week 2025
New Banners for Lent made by Chancel Arts

Lent is a time when people often take on spiritual disciplines as a way of growing closer to God. You are invited to participate in conversations around anti-racism to grow in love of God and neighbor as part of your Lenten journey. Click here for more details.

HOLY WEEK
Palm Sunday | April 13
9 a.m. | Singing Church Sunday
Join the K-12 singing choirs for Singing Church Sunday and Palm Sunday at 9 a.m. worship. After a Palm Sunday parade entrance to worship, the Children’s Choirs, Soul Singers and Matins will lead worship through scripture and song as they explore themes of love. These choirs have lived out their love of God and others through song and are eager to share their gifts in worship together with our Plymouth community. Don’t miss this wonderful service!
11 a.m. | Chancel Choir and Orchestra present “Illuminare” by Elaine Hagenberg
Join the Chancel Choir and orchestra on Palm Sunday as they present “llluminare” by Des Moines composer Elaine Hagenberg. This extended work, consisting of five-movements for chorus and chamber orchestra incorporates lesser-known sacred Latin texts as it takes us through a season of beauty and goodness that has been disrupted by darkness and confusion. But as Light gradually returns, hope is restored, illuminating our future and guiding us in peace.
