Experience Holy Week with The Episcopal Church

The Episcopal Church invites all to virtually join the congregation of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Gladwyne, PA for a rebroadcast of their 2018 Holy Week services with the addition of new sermons, beginning with the Maundy Thursday on April 9 through the Great Vigil of Easter on April 11, 2020. 

On Easter Sunday, the Office of Communication live-streamed the service at the Washington National Cathedral. Consistent with his call for churches to practice physical distancing at this time, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, offered his Easter sermon via a video recorded earlier in the week.  Additional offerings include sermons recorded by Bishop Curry for Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. Please see program offerings below for information on how to access each service or stand-alone sermon.
