Holy Week Logo


 

The Lipscomb community will have the opportunity to commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ during a series of events on campus beginning Sunday, April 2 and concluding with an all-campus Good Friday Service at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 7th in Collins Auditorium.
 

Activities for the Week

Holy Week Hike

An audio-guided meditation through the Gospel of John’s telling of Jesus’ journey to the cross. Listen while on a hike or simply walking around campus.
 

Stations of the Cross

Find and reflect on pictures depicting Jesus’ journey to the cross. Artwork featured from Scott Erickson. 

Sacred Space

For all but a few hours of the week, Ezell Chapel has been reserved as a quiet space for prayer, reflection and meditation. In the midst of busy lives filled with technology, noise, and increased anxiety, “sacred spaces” like this are more important than ever. This space will offer an opportunity to slow down and encounter God in stillness.

There will also be a schedule of short times of guided activity and prayer posted throughout the week, such as Imaginative Prayer led by Emily Wilhelm on Monday at 3:00 p.m.

Day by Day Reflections

Daily devotionals and reflections written by some of your classmates on the journey to the cross. Access them here.

Communal Art Project

Come visit the Welcome Desk in the Campus Center to contribute to a communal "stained glass" beginning Sunday night at 9 p.m. Check out the schedule for the other times throughout the week!
