EASTER 2025

  • Palm Sunday remembers the joyful celebration of Jesus entering Jerusalem. Waving palms and shouting, “Hosanna,” crowds of people eagerly filled the streets to catch a glimpse of the man who performed miracles. It appeared to be a moment of major victory for Jesus, but in actuality, it was a step along the journey to cross.

    On Palm Sunday, we will remind ourselves of Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem, as we prepare to observe what comes a week later… Jesus’ death and His resurrection.

    Our service begins at 9:30 am.

  • Maundy Thursday is remembered as the Thursday before Jesus’ crucifixion on Good Friday.

    On Thursday, April 17, we will remember Maundy Thursday with a Tenebrae Service. The word tenebrae means “of the darkness” in Latin. During this service, we will read Jesus’ last words to His disciples. Because His last words included how to keep the communion supper, we will take communion together.

    This service will begin at 7 pm in the Meetinghouse (large church sanctuary) and last about 1 hour.

  • As the sun rises on Easter morning, we will gather outdoors in front of the Meetinghouse to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection! We will sing and pray together, thanking God for Jesus’ completed work.

  • The whole community is invited to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection on Easter morning. Together, we will sing, pray, hear special music, listen to the story of Jesus’ return to life, and celebrate what it all means:

    “… we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.” — Hebrews 2:9

    Our worship service begins at 9:30am in our Meetinghouse. Our buildings are handicapped accessible, and we offer nursery care for children ages 0-3. All are welcome.

FAQs

  • Our church follows the Reformed Protestant tradition. In simple terms, this means that we believe that people are saved by faith alone in God alone by grace alone. We believe that people are sinners, but that by acknowledging this reality and by turning to God for forgiveness, we can experience true personal and spiritual freedom.
