Maundy Thursday

PRAYER WALK: 5:30pm • Kids Ctr

WORSHIP: 6:30pm • Worship Ctr

Our Prayer Path is an interactive, multi-sensory, spiritual experience exploring some of the events of Holy Week. Designed for all ages and will begin in the Kids Center! 

Then stay for Maundy Thursday Worship, which witnesses to the sacrificial love of Jesus in the symbolic act of foot washing. Our service will include Scripture, song, prayer, Communion, and the opportunity to experience feet washing (a symbolic act, not a full foot scrub and not required). A family station will be available for those that want to experience this with each other.

Tenebrae Service

12pm • Worship Ctr

On Good Friday, we enter the story of the suffering Jesus endured to achieve final victory over death, decay and brokenness. On this day, we do not rush past the pain; we sit with it. It’s called “Good” Friday because we recognize that God suffered with us through Jesus Christ, and that God is with us in our suffering. It’s called “Good” Friday because we get to look back and see that pain, suffering and death did not have the final word, which means we look forward with hope to the time when God will make all things new. As we remember Good Friday, we are inspired to point to God’s healing, repair and restoration through our daily actions amid the pain around us.
