Maundy Thursday is another name for Holy Thursday, the first of three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus. The word "maundy" comes from the Latin mandatum which means "commandment." As recorded in John's gospel, on the last night before his betrayal and arrest, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and then gave them a new commandment to love one another as he had loved them (John 13:34). The other gospels include the Lord's Supper among the events of this night.

Good Friday is a day that proclaims God's purpose of loving and redeeming the world through the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a day that is good because God was drawing the world to himself in Christ. As seen in John's gospel, particularly, God was in control. God was not making the best of a bad situation but was working out God's intention for the world- winning salvation for all people. We call it "good" because we look backward at crucifixion through the lens of Easter!

Good Friday is a time of lament as we remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross to save us all from our sin. Our Good Friday service will be in the Tenebrae style of worship. Our reflection will be on the passion of Jesus Christ on the cross. Nursery is available.

It's time to bring your Easter Basket and hunt for Easter Eggs! We will start with a simple hotdog lunch followed by an egg hunt for ages PreK -- 4th Grade. Meet at the Family Life Center for an afternoon of fun and candy!

The story did not end on Good Friday because HE IS RISEN! Death could not hold him down and we will rejoice that Jesus is alive!

Our 8:30 service will feature the praise band, a modern worship style, and an encouraging message by Pastor Chris. Our wonderful nursery staff will be ready to entertain babies and toddlers in Wesley Hall for parents who might enjoy the help. For children who join us in worship, we'll offer a Young Disciples Time midway through the service. This service will last approximately one hour.

Most of our Sunday morning groups, which usually meet at 9:45, will take a break from gathering on Easter Sunday.

Our 9:45 and 11:00 services will feature our choir, a traditional worship style, and an encouraging message by Pastor Chris. Nursery services and Young Disciples Time, are also available. Both services will last approximately one hour.
