Maundy Thursday—April 17 at 7:00 p.m.

Good Friday—April 18  

All Day - Prayer; Stations of the Cross
The church will be open to pray, rest, be. Stations of the Cross booklets can be found on the floor near the baptismal font for a self-guided journey through our Stations of the Cross. 

7:00 p.m. - Good Friday Worship
This service commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus, and includes a reading of the Passion gospel, music, and solemn prayers.


Easter Vigil—April 19 at 7:00 p.m.  
This service is the primary celebration of Easter, beginning in darkness. The worship features the kindling of new fire, lighting the Paschal candle, the Exsultet, music, readings from the Hebrew Scriptures, the renewal of our baptismal vows, and the Eucharist.

​Easter Sunday—April 20 

6:45 a.m. - Easter Sunrise Hike and Devotional
Celebrate that "He is Risen" by rising and shining for a sunrise hike. Meet Erin Donnally Drake and Erica Burns at the Poet's Seat parking lot at 6:00 am for a hike up to Poet's Seat. At the top, we will hold a brief morning devotional. Those who wish to simply join us at the top without the hike, should plan to drive up to the top by 6:45 am. We will walk down the road after we conclude. Questions? Contact Erin Donnally Drake ([email protected]) 

10:00 a.m. - Easter Sunday Worship
    A celebration of Christ’s resurrection with music and Holy Eucharist. Following the service, join the youth group for an egg hunt in the side yard. Kids 0 - 11 are welcome to join.
