Trinity Episcopal Church, 81 Elm Street in Concord, invites you to attend its Holy Week services leading up to Easter Sunday. All in our community are invited to attend and participate, adding deeper meaning to the week leading up to Easter.
Sunday, April 13, at 10 AM in Trinity's Main Sanctuary
Palm Sunday Eucharist Service
On Palm Sunday Trinity's Liturgy begins outside (weather permitting), processing into the church to re-enact Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, crying “Hosanna” and waving palms and singing on our way. The spiritual mood changes as we then hear and participate in the Passion narrative which describes the events leading to Jesus’ crucifixion.
