Sunday is Palm Sunday
ONE service only 10am.
We invite you to the Pilgrimage of Holy Week
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil are three days in the church year when we physically walk with Jesus from the table, to the cross, and to the tomb. On Easter morning, we go with Mary Magdalene and witness with her, Jesus rise from the dead. The three days before, explain why we even need to gather on Easter. One does not make sense without the other.
Though it might be hard to make it to church three times in a row, coming to these services are a great reminder of why we gather on Sunday mornings in the first place!
Of course, the best way to learn more about these Three Days is to experience them first-hand!
