Sunday, April 5th, 11am: "Easter." Sometimes we are living in the shadow of a large stone - keeping us in the dark. In this Easter service, we examine the classic story of the empty tomb not as an illustration of dogma, but as a profound metaphor for human resilience and solidarity. Human hands—working across different beliefs and backgrounds—are the ones that truly roll away the boulders of personal struggles and systemic oppression.

*Also during this service, Stephanie and Rev. Renée will share the Covenant that you, the congregation, will be entering into at Renée's Installation Service that is scheduled for next Sunday, 04/12, starting at 3pm. To preview the Covenant, CLICK HERE.*



You can attend this service in person at the fellowship building or view it remotely online via Facebook Live Stream. To attend live via Facebook, wait until 11am Central Time (CDT) and go to: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CPu7enuEQ/ and click on "Watch Live Video. A Facebook account is not required for viewing.

There will be an Egg Hunt for children to enjoy after the service.

The eggs will be hidden on the grounds (weather permitting), and parents and guardians should be prepared to supervise their children. All are welcome!
