April 17–20, 2025
This Holy Week, we continue listening deeply, reflecting honestly, and walking together through the sacred story at the heart of our faith. One of the great gifts this year is the opportunity to reconnect with our longtime friends at Pine Street Baptist Church — a congregation with whom we’ve shared more than a century of mission, prayer, and mutual encouragement. This moment of reconnection feels holy, and we’re grateful to walk this stretch of the journey side-by-side once again.
Please Note: The Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services were originally publicized as starting at 6:30 PM. Both will now begin at 6:00 PM.
Maundy Thursday
Thursday, April 17 @ 6:00 PM
Location: Pine Street Baptist Church
400 South Pine Street, Richmond, VA 23220
(Service will last approximately 1.5 hours)
Maundy Thursday invites us into the tender and intimate moments of Jesus’ final night with his disciples, as found in John 13. It’s a night marked by table fellowship, foot washing, and Jesus’ command: “Love one another, just as I have loved you.”
We will begin the evening together in the Sanctuary at Pine Street Baptist Church, then transition into their Fellowship Hall, where we’ll gather around tables for guided conversation, a light meal of hummus, bread, carrots, and fruit, and a time of communion. Through shared space and reflective practice, we’ll explore what it means to love one another in the way Jesus has loved us — sacrificially, humbly, and fully.
Parking is available in the church lot or on the street. Accessible parking is also available. Greeters will help guide you to the Albemarle Street Entrance or the accessible entrance at the back of the building.
Good Friday
Friday, April 18 @ 6:00 PM
Location: Tabernacle Baptist Church
(Service will last approximately 1 hour)
We are honored to welcome Pine Street Baptist into our space for an experiential Good Friday service. Through storytelling, guided reflection, and quiet moments, we’ll consider the grief, confusion, and hope experienced by those who witnessed the crucifixion.
Please plan to eat prior to arriving or prepare for a later supper following the service.
