“The Great Three Days.”

Maundy Thursday: April 17, 7 pm, Sanctuary
Join us as we remember the Last Supper and Jesus’ powerful call to love one another. Through Holy Communion, we share in the meal Jesus gave His disciples, a reminder of His sacrifice and grace.

As a symbol of humility and service, we invite you to participate in either foot-washing or hand-washing, following Jesus’ example of love and care. Whether you choose to take part or simply observe, this time of reflection offers a meaningful way to prepare our hearts for the journey to the cross.

Good Friday: April 18, 10 am –2 pm, Sanctuary & Room 200 
Good Friday is a sacred time to reflect on the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, a moment of deep sorrow that ultimately leads to the hope and promise of His resurrection. It is an opportunity to pause, pray, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.

We invite you to engage in self-guided prayer and reflection in a way that is meaningful to you. A labyrinth will be available in Room 200 for those who wish to walk through as a symbolic journey of faith and contemplation. Additionally, the Sanctuary will be open for quiet prayer, providing a peaceful space to meditate, seek guidance, and draw closer to God.

Easter Sunday April 20, Three services with Holy Communion  
Join us as we rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ! Easter is a time of renewal, hope, and victory over sin and death. The tomb is empty, and Christ is alive—bringing the promise of new life to all who believe.

With hearts full of joy, we proclaim: He is risen! He is risen indeed! Come and celebrate this glorious day with us as we worship, sing, and reflect on the incredible love and grace of our Savior. Let this be a time of gratitude, fellowship, and renewed faith as we embrace the hope of the resurrection together.
