April 20, 2025 - Easter Sunday
Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
“The last enemy to be destroyed is death,” Paul writes. Today Christ is risen, and we gather together with astonishment and joy. Christ is risen, and we have been set free from the bonds of death. Christ is risen, and we are forgiven. Christ is risen, and with the women at the tomb and Peter, we are amazed. Let us rejoice: Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!

April 18, 2025 - Good Friday Tenebrae Service
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.

April 17, 2025 - Maundy Thursday
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.

April 13, 2025 - Palm Sunday
Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
Jesus' processional contained the same elements of a “king’s” entrance (crowds, cloaks, hymns of acclamations (Psalm 118:26)), but he was a different kind of king, riding a donkey, wearing ordinary robes, bringing peace and not war (Luke 19:38), refusing power as he did in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-13). The disciples cannot be contained, knowing that scripture is being fulfilled as the Kingdom of God, bringing peace on earth (though it might look different than they were imagining at the time). The Pharisees reject his entry into Jerusalem, just as the Samaritans rejected his entry into their villages at the beginning of his travels (Luke 9:52–53). Jesus' procession into Jerusalem is the fulfillment of the prophecies of old, including echoes of proclamations of Jesus at his birth, and prediction of his passions.

April 6, 2025 - Fifth Sunday in Lent
Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
Our God makes all things new. In the first reading God
promises it. In the gospel Mary anticipates it, anointing Jesus’ feet with costly perfume in preparation for the day of his burial. In the second reading Paul recalls his transformation from the persecutor Saul into an apostle. In baptism, God’s new person (you!) rises daily from the deadly mire of trespasses and sins.

March 30, 2025 - Fourth Sunday in Lent
Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
The psalm sets the tone this day: “Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!” Happy are those who have “become the righteousness of God” in the merits of Christ Jesus. Happy are those for whom the forgiveness of God has “rolled away . . . the disgrace” of former times. Happy is the father at the return of his prodigal son. Happy are we that our sins are forgiven for Jesus’ sake. Rejoice!

March 23, 2025 - Third Sunday in Lent
Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the third Sunday in Lent. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God’s invitation to attentiveness: “Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live.” The landowner’s ultimatum is forestalled by the gardener’s readiness to till the ground one more year. That is good news for all of us. Thanks be to God!
