Lent and Easter at Saint Andrew's

Lent and Easter is a special time at Saint Andrew's. Below you will find more information about how Saint Andrew's reflects and celebrates during these times.

Ash Wednesday

Each year on Ash Wednesday, we hold worship services on this special day. Check the calendar for times.

Bible Study

Each year, we have a special Lenten Bible Study class for anyone who wishes to dig deeper into the lessons of the season.

Palm-Passion Sunday

We begin in joyful celebration, lifting palm branches as we remember the crowds who welcomed Jesus with cries of “Hosanna!” As the service unfolds, that joy gently deepens into the story of the Passion, where Scripture invites us to witness Christ’s love, sacrifice, and unwavering faithfulness. Together, we walk the road with Jesus—from the triumphant palms of His entry into Jerusalem to the tender compassion of His journey to the cross. Through Scripture, prayer, and song, this service draws us into Holy Week with reverence, unity, and hope.

Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday, we gather in joy to celebrate the Resurrection with a service of Word and Table. This festive morning also includes a Children’s Easter Egg Hunt, a special Children’s Moment, uplifting music from our Handbell Choir, and Sunday School for our youngest disciples. After worshipping together, we fellowship with some fancy food and desserts. It is a day filled with hope, celebration, and the promise of new life.

Youth Easter Event

We usually have a special youth event that takes the youth deeper into the Holy Week story. Sometimes it is a Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt, an Easter Escape Room, or Easter Worship Stations.

Easter Egg Hunt

We also have an annual Easter Egg Hunt for the children. The Easter Egg Hunt begins at 9:30AM  in the Church Lobby. Weather permitting, part of the Hunt will be outside, so please dress appropriately.
