Maundy Thursday Service

Continue the journey to Easter Sunday at this special service that commemorates the Last Supper with His disciples where Jesus began the Eucharist and washed his disciples’ feet. “Maundy” is derived from the Latin word mandatum, meaning “command,” and it refers to the “new commandment” Jesus shared with his disciples at the meal to “love one another.”

Good Friday Service

Holy Week services preparing our heart for Easter continue with this somber reminder of Jesus giving his life so that we might have eternal life. The congregation is traditionally asked to leave in silence as we embrace a spirit of contemplation before we return to celebrate the resurrection at Easter Sunday Services.

Celebrate the season at this egg hunt for children from toddlers through 6th grade on the church grounds. Open to the community. Please bring your own basket. Activities will include crafts.
