Holy Week & Easter Services

Holy Week

It begins on March 25, Palm Sunday and is a time of reflection on the events preceding Jesus’ death: his triumphant entry into Jerusalem; his betrayal by Judas; his Last Supper with his twelve apostles; his arrest, crucifixion and death; and his burial in a tomb, leading up to Easter.

Palm Sunday, March 25:  Celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. We will have palms available as we prepare for the Passion Week to come. Children’s Choir will sing at the 9:30 service. Rainbow Singers will share at the 11:15 service.

Maundy Thursday, March 29: Together with the congregation of St. John’s AME church, we have a Passover Seder meal as we remember the Last Supper. Share with our partners in the community of Christ at 7:00pm at 7700 Crosswoods Drive
