What’s next?
The season of Lent leads us to the week where we observe the events leading to Jesus’ sacrifice, death, and resurrection. This week is known as “Holy Week” and culminates with Easter Sunday, where we celebrate Jesus overcoming darkness and death for everyone!
We invite you to join us for additional worship services throughout Holy Week as well as celebrating new life and redemption with us on Easter Sunday!
