TABLE TO THE CROSS SERVICE
TOMORROW, MARCH 29 | 7:00 PM
Join us tomorrow, Maundy Thursday, as we follow Jesus through the last twenty-four hours of His life . . . from the Last Supper table all the way to the cross.
This reflective service is a meaningful time to focus on the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on our behalf and is a wonderful way to prepare your heart for the joy of Easter morning.
We hope you will attend this highly impactful service.
All Grow Groups will meet at 7:00 pm to attend the service together in the Worship Center.
Children's Ministry will be provided for preschool children.

THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 1 | BOTH WORSHIP SERVICES
What could be more fun than a GLOW-IN-THE-DARK EGG HUNT??? Kids, bring your Easter basket and join us for an Easter Egg Hunt this Sunday during both the 9:30 and 11:00 am worship services! Elementary ages will hunt for cool glow-in-the-dark eggs up in the Student Auditorium, while preschoolers will participate in an outdoor egg hunt on the church lawn. There will also be fun snacks and age-appropriate teaching about why we celebrate Easter.
No registration is required--just check in at the Children's Ministry area in the west wing of the church. If you have any questions about the egg hunts or would like to volunteer, please contact Karen Simmang at
[email protected].

THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 1 | PRAYER GARDEN CROSS
Bring your cameras and freshly cut flowers with you to church this Sunday and help us create a spectacular Easter photo opportunity in the Prayer Garden!
To do this, the large cross, located in the Prayer Garden on the north side of the church, will be made ready for you to attach fresh flowers, such as daffodils, tulips, lilies, roses, carnations, and more, on your way in to worship. As the cross fills with flowers, it will become a beautiful symbol of the new life we have in Jesus and a gorgeous floral backdrop for Easter photos.
Don't forget your camera or phone so you can snap some Easter selfies!
