You don't have to believe anything particular about resurrection to be made new. St. Matthew's welcomes all people to shared observances of Holy Week and Easter. In Holy Week, evening worship services (7 p.m.) will be held Maundy Thursday, April 18, and Good Friday, April 19.

Easter Sunday, a sunrise service will he held at 6:00 a.m. in a meadow at 120 Sargent Rd. in Boxborough. There will be coffee and donuts!

Easter Worship will be held at 8:15 and 10:30 at the church, including a community sing of Handel's Hallelujah chorus. A free breakfast will be offered between the services, from 9:15 to 10:15. There will also be an Easter Egg Hunt on the lawn for the little ones at 10:00. Join us and have your Easter family picture taken at no charge before or after the 8:15 and 10:30 services. Pictures will be available to download from a secure site after Easter.
