Join us for Worship during Holy Week

Maundy Thursday Service

Thursday, April 2, 7:00 pm 

Join us as we remember the last night of Christ’s life, as we begin the journey to the cross. The word “Maundy” is derived from the Latin word “commandment,” and recalls the “new commandment” Christ gave his disciples the night before he died: love one another as I have loved you. Communion will be served. Service also available via live stream, www.rpcjax.org/live.

Nursery is available for K and under and will open 15 minutes prior to the service.

Good Friday Service

Friday, April 3, 7:00 pm

Experience the solemn beauty of Good Friday in a Tenebrae service of scripture and song. Hear the Seven Last Words of Christ and witness the gradual extinguishing of candles, as we move together through the shadow of the cross and the journey of Christ’s passion and death.

Service also available via live stream www.rpcjax.org/live. Nursery is available for K and under and will open 15 minutes prior to the service.
