What is Holy Week?Holy Week is the week leading up to Easter, which is the celebration of Jesus's resurrection.
The week begins with a re-enacted parade as we wave palms and welcome Jesus on his final journey to Jerusalem. On Maundy Thursday, we gather at tables and remember Jesus's last meal with his disciples. We stare death in the face together on Good Friday when we remember Jesus's execution. And we kindle a small flame of new hope in the midst of darkness on Holy Saturday. Easter morning we go all out - celebrating the God-of-Eternal-Do-Overs in grand style. |

Holy Saturday | April 20The Easter Vigil is an ancient Christian tradition to gather in the darkness of night, light a new fire, and prepare for the morning to come. We will be doing our own (much shorter) take on Holy Saturday at sunset 8:08 pm). Join us as we share in a simple liturgy together, kindle a Paschal Fire in front of the church, and then bring the light into our Sanctuary. We thank the Ministry of the Decorative Scissors for making our Paschal Candle, which will be re-lit throughout the coming year at baptisms and funerals as we remember the promise of God’s unending Easter love. | facebook event

Our Festival Worship is at 10:45 a.m. and will include inspiring music and an opportunity to hear and recommit to living out the good news of a God who is too big to fail.
