Holy Week:
During Holy Week, some churches gather each day to to meditate on Jesus’ final days before his death on the cross, as Jesus’ suffering is the path to resurrection and new life. While we don’t gather EVERY day, during holy week, here are some special services for you to consider attending as we journey with Christ from darkness to light, from captivity to freedom, and await the celebration of the great mystery of Jesus death and resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Maundy Thursday Worship Service
(Including the washing of feet.)
Maundy comes from the Latin word “mandatum” (or mandate) which means to give, to order, or to command. After Jesus and the disciples finished the Last Supper, Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another.” - John 13:34.

Good Friday Worship Service
Life and death are side by side as we enter Good Friday. Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he’s put on trial and sentenced to death. Standing with the disciples at the foot of the cross, we pray for the whole world, as Christ’s death offers life to all.

April 20, 2025 - Easter Sunday
What does Easter even mean? What’s all the fuss about? Christ is risen! Jesus is alive, and God has swallowed up death forever. With Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome, we may feel astonished and confused, unsure of what to make of the empty tomb. But this is why we gather: to proclaim, witness, praise, and affirm the liberating reality of Christ’s death and resurrection. In word and feast, we celebrate God’s unending love and depart to share this good news with all the world!
Making this Easter even more special, Bohn Bursley will be baptized!
