Holy Week Services
Starting with our children processing down the aisles in our jubilant Palm Sunday services, to a reflective Good Friday Service of Darkness, and through the traditional Easter Sunrise Service, join us as we observe the events that lead to Easter.
03.24 // 9&11am
Palm Sunday is the morning we remember Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem to the waving of palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna!”
03.28 // 6:00pm
“Maundy” comes from the Latin word mandatum, or commandment, referring to Jesus’s words, “I give you a new commandment.” During this service, we will reflect on Jesus’s final directions to His disciples and share Holy Communion.
03.29 // noon
This poignant service will follow the last few hours of Jesus’s life, taking us on His journey toward Golgotha. Our pastors will each share about Jesus’s seven last words on the cross, we will reflect on Jesus’s sacrifice through music, and we will close with the somber Service of Darkness.
03.31 // 7:00am
This traditional Easter Sunrise Service is an early morning celebration of Jesus’s resurrection that your family will not want to miss! Breakfast bites will be available in the Atrium following the service.
A place for your kids
Kid Central is a safe, vibrant environment for children birth through 5th grade where kids come each week to play games, sing, and learn biblical truths that last a lifetime. Your children are welcome during both our 9:00 and 11:00am services each Sunday.
(There will be no children or student ministries during the Saturday evening Easter service.)
