HOLY WEEK & EASTER SERVICES
HOLY WEEK & EASTER SERVICES

We extend a heartfelt invitation to join us for a meaningful Holy Week journey, beginning with Palm Sunday and culminating in the glorious celebration of Easter Sunday.

On Maundy Thursday, March 28th at 7pm, immerse yourself in a time of prayer, music, and scripture as we reflect on the example and command of Jesus to serve others just as He served us. Join us as we consider the profound impact of Jesus’ humble act of servanthood and our mission to go and do likewise.

Continuing Holy Week, we invite you to join us on Good Friday, March 29th, from 5 to 7pm, for a solemn and reflective prayer event featuring interactive devotional stations and moments of quiet contemplation. This is a time to delve deeper into the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for each one of us. Through prayer and reflection, we will journey together through the profound depths of Christ’s love and the immense price He paid for our redemption.

As Holy Week draws to a close, join us in joyful celebration on Easter Sunday*, March 31st, at 9:30** and 11am, as we gather to exalt the risen Lord who defeated death and is the one true King. With hearts overflowing with gratitude and hope, we will lift our voices in worship, proclaiming the victory of Jesus Christ over sin and death. Featuring a time of coffee, food and fellowship from 10:30 – 11am, we look forward to celebrating God and His gospel with you this Easter!

*Adult Sunday School classes are not meeting on Easter Sunday.

**Children’s Programming will be offered only during 1st service on Easter Sunday.
