Crosstown Connection-April 10-24

Good Friday Worship


You are invited to attend and join in this experience of contemplating Jesus’ death and sacrifice. In a world that values comfort and convenience, Jesus gave away His life for all humanity. Come and bear witness to the greatest act of love in all of history!

“Christ is Risen!” / “He is risen indeed!” Here is the MAIN EVENT of our faith in Jesus Christ. Here is the anchor of our hope at all times and in all circumstances. Two thousand years ago Jesus–defeating sin, death, and the devil–walked out of his tomb. You can’t miss this experience!!! Our Celebration of the Resurrection will include a Spirit-infused rendition of “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” from the organ.

EASTER Empty Tomb for children: 9:15 - 9:45am Gathering outside the Sanctuary. Easter worship at 10am.
