Maundy Thursday
Join us for a Maundy Thursday service in Fellowship Hall, where we'll partake in a ceremonial meal much like the supper Jesus shared with his friends before his betrayal. Named Maundy, which means "new covenant," this meaningful service will include Holy Communion, beautiful music, and the traditions Jesus introduced. The service begins at 7 pm and will take place in person.

Good Friday
Gather with us for this sacred evening of worship, when we'll recall Jesus' final hours. We'll be reminded that love reigned even in the world's darkest moment.
The sanctuary lights will gradually dim as we share in the emotion of the story. Join us at 7 PM in our sanctuary or online.
