The service is short and we still have candles and sing Christ is Risen. The dinner that follows, having fun with their friends, the Easter egg hunt and more is crucial for forming their self-identity as Orthodox Christians at their young age.<\/p>\n<h2>Lenten Service Schedule<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/extreme-humility-500x251.png\" alt=\"Extreme Humility\" title=\"Extreme Humility\" \/><\/div>\n<p><strong>Holy Week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, April 24 Palm Sunday<\/strong><br \/>\nHours 9:00am, Divine Liturgy 9:30am<br \/>\nBrunch in Social Hall following Liturgy<br \/>\nBridegroom Service 6:30pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday, April 25<\/strong><br \/>\nBridegroom Service 6:30pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, April 26<\/strong><br \/>\nBridegroom Service 6:30pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, April 27<\/strong><br \/>\nHoly Unction 6:30pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, April 28<\/strong><br \/>\nLiturgy of the Last Supper 9:30am<br \/>\nReading of the Twelve Gospels 6:30pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, April 29<\/strong><br \/>\nRoyal Hours 9:00am<br \/>\nDecoration of Tomb of Christ following Royal Hours<br \/>\nTaking Christ Down from the Cross 3:00pm<br \/>\nLamentations 6:30pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, April 30<\/strong><br \/>\nDivine Liturgy of St. Basil 9:30am<br \/>\nGreat and Holy Pascha 10pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, May 1<\/strong><br \/>\nAgape Vespers 1pm<br \/>\nPaschal Celebration in Social Hall following<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journey Through Holy Week Check the website for an explanation of services this Holy Week.
