Holy Week and Easter 2026

Lent is a 40-Day period leading up to Easter that allows us to be spiritually renewed and refresh

Holy Week Services

March 29 – Palm Sunday
Join us for worship at 9 and 11 as we remember Christ’s triumphal entry. Kids are invited to process with palms during both worship services.

Maundy Thursday– April 2nd, 6:30pm, Family Life Center
A night to remember Jesus’ last supper with his disciples. The service is around tables so that we can serve one another remembering his new commandment (Latin: mandatum novum). 

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35
