"We follow Jesus,
nurture ministries,
and welcome all."
Good Friday - April 18, 12 noon
To fully experience Holy Week is to journey through both its darkest moments and its brightest triumphs. Yet, it is in the darkness where we discover meaning, connection, empathy, and a deeper understanding of Christ’s love.
During this brief but solemn service, we reflect on Christ’s suffering, death, and his journey to the cross. We confront our own sin, embrace humility, and hold on to the hope of a brighter tomorrow—a promise God has made for all of us.
Easter - April 20, 10:15 am
In stark contrast to the reflective services of Holy Week, Easter bursts forth in all its glory, radiating joy! The church is adorned with flowers, candles burn brightly, and the light of Christ is in every neighbor’s smile. With full choir, resounding instruments, and the powerful voice of the organ, we lift our Alleluias and hymns to heaven. We hear the story about Jesus’s resurrection, a story of renewal and rebirth, reminding us that through God’s eternal grace, we are made new.
