Friday is here… but Sunday is coming.
Today, we pause at the cross. We remember the sacrifice, the suffering, and the overwhelming love that held Him there. It is a solemn reminder that even in our darkest moments, God is still working, still loving, still redeeming.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities… and by his wounds we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:5
But this is not the end of the story.
Because Sunday is coming.
Hope is coming.
Victory is coming.
Resurrection is coming.
As we reflect on this Good Friday, we invite you to join us for our Noon Day Good Friday Service as we gather in worship, prayer, and remembrance of the greatest love ever shown.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13
Come with a heart ready to reflect. Leave with a spirit anchored in hope.
Because even in the silence of today… God is preparing something greater.

As we walk through Holy Week, our hearts are drawn back—not only to the cross, but to the beginning… to Advent, when we first prepared for the coming of Christ as a child.
In Advent, we waited in hope. We imagined the quiet strength of Mary—the way she carried both uncertainty and deep faith within her. She didn’t know every detail of what was to come, but she trusted God fully. She prepared her heart to welcome Jesus into the world.
And now, in these final days of Lent, we are called into that same posture once again.
Just as Mary prepared to carry Him, Christ prepared His own body to be the ultimate sacrifice. The baby she once held would become the Savior who would give His life for us. What began in a manger would be fulfilled on the cross.
Can you imagine Mary’s heart?
The joy of His birth…
The tenderness of raising Him…
And the unimaginable weight of watching Him carry the cross.
From cradle to cross—this is the fullness of His love.
As Resurrection Sunday approaches, we are reminded that the story does not end in sorrow, but in victory. The same Jesus we welcomed in Advent is the risen King we celebrate now.
So in this sacred season, let us prepare our hearts once more—
with the same faith as Mary,
the same anticipation of Advent,
and the same reverence for the sacrifice that gives us eternal life.
“He is not here; He has risen.” 🤍
🎶 They hung Him high, they stretched Him wide,
He hung His head, for me He died…
🎶 That’s love, that’s love…
✨ Join us this Resurrection Sunday as we give the highest praise to our Lord and Savior and celebrate the power of His resurrection. We are also honored to welcome our Confirmation Class into the United Methodist faith—a beautiful moment of commitment, growth, and new beginnings in Christ.
Come worship, celebrate, and rejoice with us! ✝️🤍
