Holy Week & Easter Services

Lent is the 40-day season of preparing for Easter.
It is a season filled with practices that deepen our prayer life and heighten our anticipation
of the Resurrection at Easter. It follows Jesus’ 40-day temptation period in the wilderness, leading to his death
on the cross and Resurrection from the grave, demonstrating God’s unconditional love for us.

Join us for our six-week Sunday sermon series of Lent at 9:30 a.m. & 11 a.m.
to explore different practices to help you prepare to make the most of Easter.

Palm Sunday is the day we remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He was greeted with excitement as the people of Jerusalem waved palm branches, laid their cloaks before Him, and shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"

Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday! Join us on Sunday, April 13 for Palm Sunday services at 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.

GOOD FRIDAY l APRIL 18

On Good Friday, we journey with Jesus to the cross. As we read the passages of Jesus’ final steps, candles will be extinguished to demonstrate the “darkest” hours of Jesus’ life.

The trial and crucifixion of Jesus were the most heart-breaking moments of Jesus’ life. In order for us to understand the glory of Easter morning, we must walk with Christ through the agony of that Friday to be reminded of God's unconditional love for us.

Please join us for Good Friday service at 7PM in the Sanctuary.

EASTER CELEBRATION SUNDAY l APRIL 20

When they arrived, they found the stone rolled away, and the tomb empty. Later, they would learn that Jesus, who was crucified, is alive! Where there appeared to be no hope, there is now hope. Where there was death, there is now resurrection!

Please join us on Easter morning to celebrate the Risen Christ!
