Holy Week and Easter 2026

No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13

It's a love story for the ages and for your very salvation. We hear it and celebrate it throughout Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sunday and continuing through Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and, finally, Easter Sunday and the Good News that Christ is risen. He is risen indeed!
You are invited to join us for these services, to hear the whole story of God, who so loved the world that he gave his only Son. For you, for us, for the world.
