Rev. David Yocis, one of two VIC co-facilitators, said speakers will include an immigration attorney from Progreso, part of United Community that seeks to assist immigrants in our area with such programs as legal aid, and classes in English as a second language,.

Speakers from other groiups that work with immigrants and refugees are expected , Rev. Yocis said, including someone from the Congregational Action Network. 

Because St. Luke’s is a VIC member, anyone from the church may attend these general meetings. VIC is a coalition of faith communities and non-profits. It advocates for and assists individuals, families and communities in need, primarily along the U.S. 1 corridor in this region. 

The meeting will be held from 11:30 to 1 pm at the Sherwood Regional Library at 2501 Sherwood Hall Lane, Alexandria VA 22306. A light lunch will be served.

Maundy Thursday
Apr

Maundy Thursday

So, here’s the thing you’re wondering, Maundy = Mandatum = Commandment. This is Commandment Thursday, and it is the new commandment that Jesus gave us the night before he died, that we love one another. This is probably Nick’s favorite service of the whole year. The liturgy is poetic, sad, but hopeful. It gives you permission to sit in your sorrow, with the promise that you won’t be there forever. There even a part where we wash each others feet. It awkward, but that’s part of the point.

Good Friday

Good Friday

Services at 12 noon and 7 pm

This service is all about going without. Celebrating Holy Eucharist is forbidden during this time, and we spend time reflecting on the death of Jesus and the brokenness of our world. At noon we invite people to observe the “way of the cross” as we travel to the 14 stations of the passion around the church. People can also join online for this service. The 7:00 pm service is different. There is no bulletin, music, or building. We meet around the fire, read the solemn collects, and reflect on Christ’s suffering.
