Greetings, Siblings in Christ,

Though this email tees us up for Easter Day, our Triduum worship begins tonight with Maundy Thursday. See above for the full worship schedule.

Holy Week worship looks the world as it is in the eye without flinching. Holy Week worship looks the world in the eye and says this is not the end. Holy Week worship looks the world in the eye and says, "Alleluia, Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed! Alleluia."

Join us for Holy Week worship and see for yourself! Invite a friend.

Faithfully,

Nick+
