New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church
Hearing, Embracing, and Sharing God's Word Through Worship, Fellowship, and Outreach
Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
Life and death stand side by side as we enter into Good Friday. In John’s passion account, Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he is put on trial and sentenced to death. Standing with the disciples at the foot of the cross, we pray for the whole world in the ancient bidding prayer, as Christ’s death offers life to all. We gather in solemn devotion, but always with the promise that the tree around which we assemble is indeed a tree of life. We depart silently, and we anticipate the culmination of the Three Days in the Easter Vigil.

Our youth were busy yesterday… They stripped the altar during the Maundy Thursday worship service and enjoyed a flashlight egg hunt in the grove! ... See MoreSee Less

Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
This evening our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Tonight we remember Christ’s last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we live out the promise embodied in this meal. As Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, so we are called to give and receive love in humble service to one another. Formed into a new body in Christ through this holy meal, we are transformed by the mercy we have received and carry it into the world. Departing worship in solemn silence, we anticipate the coming days.
