This week in our Encounters with Jesus series we are learning what can happened when Jesus invites us into something new. You have the opportunity to make that happen for someone else. Invite them to our Holy Week services.



We will learn about the Passover Seder. We will also experience the events of the Last Supper when Jesus transformed this ancient meal into our modern service of Communion.


We will remember the ultimate act of love by Jesus to lay down his life as a ransom for many. The evening will be a worship service with both Traditional and Contemporary elements.
Both the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services have free childcare for 5 years & younger. No reservation required.

Easter Sunday April 1st, 8:30 & 11 Traditional 9:30 & 11 Contemporary
Easter is proof God breathes new life into dead things. For 2,000 years people have been changed by an encounter with the risen Christ. Join us on Easter as we gather to celebrate the amazing story of the forgiveness and freedom Jesus offers to everyone.

Please take the invitation cards in the Connections Center and Narthex and share them with someone who needs to encounter Jesus!  Or share the invitation on our Facebook page!

We are in week six of our churchwide sermon series
