Tuesday of Holy Week - Worship in English with Holy Communion
Details
Holy Tuesday brings us to a turning point in John’s Gospel: “The hour has come.” Some outsiders come looking for Jesus—“Sir, we wish to see Jesus”—and Jesus responds with words about a seed falling into the earth, about losing and finding life, about glory that looks like a cross, and about light shining while there is still time.
This is old-school worship—Scripture, hymns, prayer, Holy Communion, and space to breathe. No pressure. No insider knowledge required.
### What to expect
A calm, candlelit service centered on John 12:20–36—a night for anyone who’s searching, tired, curious, or simply trying to make it through Holy Week with honesty.
### Tonight includes
- Scripture: John 12:20–36 — “We wish to see Jesus”… and Jesus speaks of the coming “hour”
- Reflection — the seed that falls, the strange promise of life through surrender, and the call to walk in the light
- Holy Communion — bread and wine at Jesus’ table in the deepening of Holy Week
- Prayers for the world — for those who are seeking, those who are suffering, and those living in fear
- Silence — room for prayer, grief, clarity, or simply being still
### Explicit welcome
All people are welcome—no exceptions.
That includes ALL people, skeptics, seekers, longtime church folks, first-timers, English speakers and non-native speakers, families with kids, and anyone who isn’t sure what they believe but wants a place to sit with the story.
### Good to know
- Dress however you like.
- Participation is always your choice—no spotlight, no pressure.
- Photos/recording: not during the service.
Come as you are. Bring your questions. And walk with the light, one night closer to the cross—and the dawn beyond it.
