This creative liturgy invites us to sit in the holy in-between of Holy Week with singing, prayer, communion, scripture, imaginative monologues, and silence. With three movements that follow Jesus from the Last Supper to the tomb, this complete worship service could be used at any point during Holy Week. This liturgy also includes a printable poem to send home with worshipers to read on Holy Saturday.
