Easter – April 18 & 20
On Good Friday, April 18 we will have a worship service at 6:00 pm. This service will help us reflect on our participation in the Saviour’s crucifixion. When Jesus announced he would be betrayed and crucified his disciples asked, “Is it I Lord?” Along with the Lord’s Supper, we’ll confess our brokenness and sin, turning our hearts toward Christ. There will be no children’s programs during this service. We will have the family room open during the service with activities available and the live stream on.
Easter Sunday will be on Sunday, April 20. At our regularly scheduled 10:00 am Sunday service we will celebrate together with the theme: The Greatest Day. In song and with four powerful enactments of the greatest day in history we will reflect on the hope of Christ’s resurrection. Easter is a wonderful opportunity to invite family and friends to hear the good news. After the service, we’ll enjoy some special treats—if you’d like to bring baked goods to share, you can click here sign up.
