Holy Week Worship Schedule
Historic Zion Lutheran Church has set its 103rd Holy Week calendar. Maundy Thursday evening worship will take place at 7 PM with a light soup and sandwich supper preceding the event at 6 PM. Somber Good Friday worship will take place at 7 PM with a Tenebrae service. Easter Sunday morning worship at 10 AM will include special music to announce the familiar Easter refrain heard across Christendom, "He is risen! He is risen indeed!" A light Easter breakfast will precede worship at 9 AM. Visitors, friends, and neighbors are invited to join the congregation at table and worship. Zion Lutheran Church is located a block off State Highway 104 at 15875 4th Avenue at 7th Street in beautiful Silverhill, and will have the familiar three wooden crosses mounted in front of the church for Easter.
The altar with eternal candle situated over it, was set up for a Palm Sunday Eucharist with the familiar "empty" cross resting at the rear of the altar covered with Palm Sunday red super-frontal. A Lenten "wreath of thorns" was situated in front of the altar next to the historic crucifix from the early 20th Century which was used in years past at Zion Lutheran Church, an apt reminder of the sufferings of Christ on the cross of Calvary occurring during Holy Week. A white Easter parament complemented the crucifix and Lenten wreath. The altar furnishings rested behind a semicircular altar rail, characteristic of churches with the Swedish Lutheran roots from which the Zion church springs.
