For you

In any other year, we would all be saying, “Go to church, experience all Holy Week has to offer!” This year, attending in person will not be an option for everyone. Still, we can incorporate the rhythm and customs, the experience and blessings, into Holy Week at home.

How you can walk the Way of the Cross at home

By engaging us body, heart, and soul, walking the Way of the Cross creates an opportunity for communion with Christ and each other.

This is the night: The Great Easter Vigil

Since the third century, this is the night we gather as God’s people. Learn more about why this night is an especially long evening for very good reasons.

Holy Week with the Episcopal Churched of West Missouri

The Episcopal Churches of West Missouri provide lots of possibilities for reflection and prayer during Holy Week (March 29 – April 3). Here is a list of all the online services being held. Many of our churches also have limited in-person access, some requiring pre-registration, and others hold open-air services. Reach out to a church near you to see what they are offering.
