Each year the Lipscomb community has the opportunity to commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ during a series of events on campus. Below are the activities and schedule from Holy Week 2026!
Activities for the Week
Holy Week Hike
An audio-guided meditation through the Gospel of John’s telling of Jesus’ journey to the cross. Listen while on a hike or simply walking around campus.
Stations of the Cross
In the Ezell South Lobby, find and reflect on pictures depicting Jesus’ journey to the cross. Artwork featured from Scott Erickson.
Sacred Space
Club 1891 (located on the 3rd floor of the Campus Center) has been reserved as a quiet space for prayer, reflection and meditation. In the midst of busy lives filled with technology, noise, and increased anxiety, “sacred spaces” like this are more important than ever. This space will offer an opportunity to slow down and encounter God in stillness. Check the schedule for detailed days/times this space will be offered.
Communal Art Project
Come visit the Welcome Desk in the Campus Center to contribute to a communal "stained glass" beginning Sunday night at 9 p.m. Check out the schedule for the other times throughout the week!

Join us in Ezell Chapel at 4:00 for a brief service consisting of liturgy and times of reflection as we prepare for Easter Sunday.
