Easter Day: The Lord Is Risen Indeed!

The Feast of the Resurrection is being celebrated in Emmanuel at 10:30 this morning.

On Maundy Thursday, Emmanuel members commemorated the Last Supper by sharing a potluck meal in Memorial Hall. At the conclusion of the dinner, the Holy Eucharist was celebrated at our the dinner tables after which members proceeded to the Sanctuary to prepare the altar for Good Friday.

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday services began with the customary procession through the streets of downtown Staunton.

Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday

Once again this year, members of the PAX youth group prepared the annual pancake supper for Shrove Tuesday (a.k.a. "Mardi Gras"), on February 28. A variety of delicious pancakes -- plain, blueberry, and chocolate chip -- was served, as well as baked apples, sausage, and even gluten-free waffles.

On the following day, the pews for the noontime Ash Wednesday service were packed full of Stuart Hall students and Emmanuel members, observing the beginning of the Lenten season. Palm Sunday will be on April 1 this year, beginning the Holy Week observances, and Easter Sunday will be on April 8.
