Lent / Holy Week
Lent is a time we set aside each year to remember the love of God that is poured out through Christ Jesus on the cross and in His death.
Palm Sunday Celebration
Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, mentioned in each of the four Gospels. Jesus entered the city knowing He would be tried and crucified and welcomed His fate to rise from the grave and save us from sin!
This day is observed with the blessing and sharing of palm branches symbolizing the branches placed in front of Christ as he enters Jerusalem.
Join us in the sanctuary, Sunday, April 2nd at 10:30 AM.

Holy Thursday Service
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter when Jesus celebrated his final Passover with His disciples. It was on the Thursday of Christ's final week before being crucified and resurrected that He said this commandment to His disciples. Jesus and his disciples had just shared what was known as the Last Supper and he was washing their feet when he stated:
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" (John 13:34).
Worship begins at 7:00 pm on Thursday, April 6th in the sanctuary.
