“Glorifying God and Making Disciples Who Witness and Serve”
This Week’s Service
Holy Week
As we journey through this sacred week, we invite you to gather with us for meaningful worship and celebration during Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. Each service draws us deeper into the heart of the story that changes everything—Christ’s love, sacrifice, and resurrection.
Maundy Thursday – 6:00 PM in the Chapel
We’ll remember the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples and his commandment to love one another. This reflective service includes Communion and prepares our hearts for the days ahead.
Good Friday – 12:00 Noon in the Chapel
In this solemn service, we reflect on the crucifixion and the depth of Christ’s love. Through scripture, silence, and prayer, we remember the cost of grace.
Easter Sunday – Come Celebrate the Resurrection!
We joyfully celebrate the risen Christ with worship at 10:30 AM, centering on John 20:1-18, the powerful story of Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Jesus.
Easter Breakfast – 9:00 to 9:45 AM
Easter Egg Hunt – 9:45 AM (for children of all ages!)
Worship – 10:30 AM
Bring your friends, family, and neighbors as we rejoice in the hope and new life Christ brings. No matter where you are on your journey, there is a place for you at the table and in the joy of this Easter celebration.
