Our Good Friday worship service will be held tonight in our sanctuary, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Our focus will be on the suffering of Jesus, the unfolding events which led to his death on the cross, and the meaning of his crucifixion, especially in light of the tomb being empty and Jesus being risen from death on Sunday morning. Through scripture, prayer, music, hymns, liturgy, a short message from me, and a special anthem from the choir, we anticipate the Holy Spirit will bless us with meaning, comfort, challenge, and abundant grace as we worship on this sacred evening. The service will close with the elements of our worship space being removed, and we will all depart in silence, as we walk into and through this very dark Good Friday with God.
On Sunday morning, our Easter will begin, 36 hours later, at 6:30 a.m., for our SonRise worship service, outside in the church yard (weather permitting). During our half-hour service, we will gather together to listen, watch, pray, and sing as the body of Christ, witnessing, in new ways and old ways, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A new day is about to dawn, filled with the wonder and the glory of Easter.
Following the outdoor service, we will all come inside to enjoy fellowship around the tables and delight in the Easter breakfast that Bobby and his crew are preparing. Sunday School classes will meet at 9 a.m. and our 10:30 a.m. Easter worship service in the sanctuary will be adorned with Easter lilies, filled with joyful music, and will bring the good news of our risen Savior into all our eager hearts. Communion will also be celebrated as the culmination of our Easter worship experience.
I look forward to being with you, as we move through holy week into the joy and wonder of Easter. May God bless us all in the journey ahead!

Holy Week ~ March 28 - April 5, 2026 Activities
“Mercy me… if you could see me right now, you’d understand why the church office needs a little break. After all the Easter excitement — the eggs, the baskets, the chocolate I maybe nibbled — I’m flat on my back recovering. Pastor Ray and Ms. Jennifer worked even harder than I did, pouring their whole hearts into all the Holy Week services. The office will be closed Easter Monday; so they (and I!) can rest, recharge, and maybe sneak a jelly bean or two. We won’t scurry back in until Wednesday. I hope you enjoy a little rest too — we all earned it this week.”
