Holy Monday Service of Prayer & Public Witness
2026-03-30 12:15 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Ohio Statehouse, 1 Capitol Square, Columbus, 43215, United States
Responding to the Presiding Bishop’s call for public worship on the Monday of Holy Week, Bishop White invites the Dioceses of Ohio and Southern Ohio to a service of prayer and public witness inside the rotunda at the Ohio Statehouse.
Holy Week draws Christians into the story of Jesus’ final days—days marked by courage, confrontation with injustice, and a steadfast commitment to love in the face of fear and violence. In this moment in our common life, many feel the weight of division, hostility, and rising extremism in public life. As people of faith, we gather not to deepen those divisions but to bear witness to another way.
Through prayer, song, and presence in the public square, we will offer a visible reminder that the Gospel calls Christians to stand for human dignity, mercy, and peace. In a time when fear and anger so often dominate the conversation, this is an opportunity for the church to proclaim that love guides the way.
Bishop White will officiate and Erika Mueller (Trinity, Capitol Square) will lead us in song.
