Three days later, days we celebrate the great festival of Easter, the most important date in the Christian calendar. The day the world changed forever with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But as we approach that most holy of days, we prepare in body and soul.
We prepare by supporting our mission team to the Dominican Republic, praying that their work furthers God's plan for that part of the world.
We prepare with the meal in the Upper Room on Maundy Thursday at 5:30 pm. This is a quiet time of reading and breaking bread together as we recall Christ's last meal with His disciples.
On Good Friday we worship in the sanctuary with a choral presentation of Stainer's Crucifixion. We invite everyone to join us for this musical retelling of the first Good Friday.
On Easter Sunday, we begin the day early with a sunrise service at Cy Hampson Park. 8:00 am isn't exactly sunrise, but it's early enough for most of us. We're always joined by a few birds as we sing of the Saviour's resurrection.
Even if you're not up for an 8:00 am, outdoor service, you're invited to come to breakfast at the church at 9:00 am.
Finally, at 10:00 am we celebrate with a joyful worship service in the sanctuary. Special guests make the hallelujahs ring.
Come walk with us as we journey toward Easter.
