Holy Week and Easter Schedule
Walk with Jesus
Commit yourself to walk with Jesus this week. The services of Holy Week commemorate Jesus’ descent into death before the great miracle of Easter. The crowds’ cheers at Jesus’ triumphal parade into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday turn to jeers and the demand for his blood on Good Friday. If you allow yourself to descend to the depths of despair in what seem to be Jesus’ final hours, you will experience in new ways the incomparable power of the resurrection of Easter.


Palm Sunday and Blessing of the Palms: 8:00 and 10:30 am
Maundy Thursday: Agape meal at 6:00 pm; Service at 7:00 pm (no broadcast)
