EVENTS

Maundy Thursday

Thursday, April 2   | 7 p.m.

On Maundy Thursday, or Commandment Thursday, we celebrate Holy Communion, participate in a reenactment of the foot washing of Jesus and conclude with the stripping of the altar, which is a startling visual representation of what the world would be without Christ.

For the kids

There is no child care available for this service.

Good Friday

Friday, April 3   | noon

Through Stations of the Cross meditations, we will prayerfully enter the darkness of Christ’s death and burial in order to share in the joy of his resurrection. During the noon service, kindergartners through fifth-graders will meet downstairs in the Youth Room. 

The north parking lot will be blocked off for the kids’ station of the cross. Please park in the west, south or east parking lots

For the kids

Lunch will be served, and children will take part in their version of the Stations of the Cross. Toddlers and preschoolers will have lunch together and learn about Jesus’ time on the cross.

In order to plan for food, please register your child(ren) via here by Tuesday, March 31.

Easter Sunday

Sunday, April 5   | Traditional service—7:30 a.m.; Contemporary services—9 & 11 a.m.

Holy Week culminates with the grand celebration of Christ’s resurrection and saving grace on Easter morning! In order to have space for family, guests and those looking for a place to worship on Easter, we will have three services on Sunday. 

The traditional service will be at 7:30 a.m. and will have no children’s or early childhood classes during the service.

Both the 9 and 11 a.m. services will be contemporary services. Children’s and early childhood classes will take place like a normal Sunday. 

There are no classes between services for children or adults on Easter Sunday.

For the kids

Children will take part in the “flowering of the cross” at the beginning of each service. Flowers will be provided, but you are welcome to bring flowers from your garden as well. Toddlers and preschoolers are invited to participate in the flowering of the cross and then proceed to class to learn about Christ’s resurrection. Children’s and early childhood classes will take place during the 9 & 11 a.m. service.
