Holy Week 2025

Holy Week, in the church calendar, is the week that sits in-between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. It’s purpose is to help followers of Jesus “step into the story” of Jesus’ final days leading up to the cross. In doing so, our hope is that His death and resurrection capture our hearts and minds, creating space for God to speak to us and move through us. We step into HIS story as a way of inviting him into OUR story.

Below you’ll find ways in which you can participate in Holy Week alongside your brothers and sisters in Christ at Northridge.

Everyday we will be offering an opportunity to engage in corporate prayer & worship – either in-person or online. Check out the schedule below.

    • A day of silence & solitude. All week we’ve been gathering as a community, but today, we enter into the experience of Jesus’ disciples, who had scattered. We encourage you to fill today with moments of silence, solitude, prayer and rest, as we sit in reality of Jesus’ death and anticipate his resurrection. This might also be a day you want to fast— please see our fasting material above to guide you through this.
