Join us during this sacred season as we journey through Lent and into Holy Week, reflecting on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Lent is a time of prayer, self-examination, and spiritual growth, leading us to the joy of Easter morning. We invite you to participate in our special services, devotional opportunities, and community gatherings as we walk together in faith and hope.

Lenten Activities may include weekly worship, devotionals, Bible studies, prayer services, and outreach opportunities — all designed to help us draw closer to God during this meaningful season.

Holy Week Services typically include:

  • Palm Sunday - Celebrating Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
    Sunday, April 13 - Service at 10:00 AM
    Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. During this service, congregants typically receive palm branches, symbolizing the people's joyous reception of Christ as their King. The service often includes Scripture readings recounting Jesus' entry, as well as hymns of praise. In many traditions, the procession with palms serves as a visible reminder of Christ's kingship and the love he demonstrated through his sacrifice. As the service progresses, the mood shifts to reflect the upcoming passion of Christ, setting the tone for the solemn days leading to Good Friday and Easter.

  • Good Friday - Reflecting on the sacrifice of the cross and God's redeeming love.
    Friday, April 18 - Service at 6:00 PM
    Join us for a solemn and reflective Good Friday service as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Through Scripture readings, prayer, and music, we will journey through the final hours of Christ's life, reflecting on His love and redemption. This meaningful service invites us to pause, meditate, and prepare our hearts for the hope of Easter. All are welcome to attend as we come together in worship and reverence on this sacred day.

  • Easter Sunday - Rejoicing in the resurrection and the promise of new life.
    Sunday, April 20 - Sunrise Service at 7:00 AM
    Easter Service at 10:00 AM

    Easter Sunrise Service: Join us for a beautiful Easter Sunrise Service as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the early morning light. Gather with us in worship as we rejoice in the hope and new life found in Christ. Through Scripture, prayer, and song, we will reflect on the joy of that first Easter morning when the tomb was found empty. This peaceful and inspiring service is a wonderful way to begin your Easter celebration.

    Easter Service: Come and celebrate the joy of Easter with us! Our Easter Service is a time of worship, praise, and thanksgiving as we rejoice in the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Through uplifting music, a powerful message, and meaningful Scripture, we will reflect on the victory of Christ over sin and death. This is a day of hope, renewal, and celebration, and we invite you to join us as we proclaim, "He is risen!"

All are welcome to attend. Whether you are new to the church or a long-time member, we hope you will find this season to be a time of renewal, reflection, and grace.
