Welcome to Thursday Evenings at All Hallows.
The American Episcopal Church and other Anglican Churches observe Easter Week, which begins on Easter Sunday and concludes on the Second Sunday of Easter. Easter Week is a part of the Anglican Church’s ongoing celebration of the resurrection of Jesus and his presence with his people.This Thursday is the Thursday in Easter Week. For each day in Easter Week The Book of Common Prayer appoints one or more Collects of the Day, which “sets the emphasis for the prayers and liturgy of the day.” The Prayer Book also appoints readings for the Daily Offices and Holy Communion for these days.
A number of Anglican churches celebrate Holy Communion every day in Easter Week. John Wesley, an Anglican priest, a leading figure in the eighteenth century Evangelical Revival, and the founder of the Methodist movement, made it his practice to receive communion every day in Easter Week. He encouraged Methodists to receive communion regularly and often, emphasizing the sacrament of Holy Communion as an important means of grace. He received communion not only during Easter Week but also during the Twelve Days of Christmas and on every Sunday whenever it was possible.
In this evening’s message we explore what Jesus’ resurrection means for Christians.
Reading: John 7: 11-17
