On Easter Sunday, we gather to celebrate the resurrection of Christ—the central event of our faith that offers new life and hope to all. As we rejoice in the victory of Christ over death, we’ll reflect on how the resurrection transforms our lives and calls us to live with purpose, joy, and love. In addition to our worship services, we’re offering a family photo opportunity where you can take Easter photos and even include them in our new time capsule, which will be opened in 25 years. We’ll also have a donut wall for a sweet treat and coffee from Goodhart Coffee to enjoy before or after the service. Plus, children’s programming will be available during both services, so families can fully participate in this celebration of renewal. It will be a meaningful day as we give thanks for the gift of new life in Christ.

On Good Friday, April 18th, at 6:30pm, we’ll observe Tenebrae, a powerful service in the United Methodist tradition. "Tenebrae" means "shadows" or "darkness," and in this service, we gradually extinguish candles, representing the deepening darkness surrounding Jesus’ final moments on the cross. Through scripture readings and hymns, we’ll reflect on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus, making this a somber but meaningful time to remember his ultimate act of love.

On Holy Thursday, April 17th, at 6:30pm, we’ll come together to reflect on the Last Supper, where Jesus shared bread and juice with his disciples, creating the sacrament of communion. As we take part in this sacred act, we remember Christ’s great sacrifice and the example he set in loving and serving others. Through scripture, prayer, and communion, we’ll pause to honor this powerful moment in the journey to the cross.

On Wednesday, April 16, at 5:30pm, we’ll bring back our Drive-Thru Easter Egg Hunt! Families can drive through and collect Easter eggs and treats for the kids, all while staying safely in their cars. This event has become a beloved tradition, and we’re excited to celebrate together in a fun and festive way. It’s an opportunity for families to connect, enjoy the season, and share in the excitement of Easter. We hope you’ll join us for this special event!
