Worship Details
Holy Week is an invitation to walk alongside Jesus through his final days.
Maundy Thursday
10 am and 7:oo pm
Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, is a powerful time of reflection marking the night Jesus shared his final meal with the apostles. We invite you to join us as we observe this sacred tradition through scripture, song, and communion.
Good Friday
7:00 pm Tenebrae Service
You can’t have the joy of the empty tomb on Easter Sunday without the weight of the cross on Friday. The service allows us to sit with the sacrifice before the celebration. Worship features a diminishing of light, signifying the deepening shadows before the dawn of the resurrection.
