At our Easter Service our sanctuary was filled with joy and music. Our breath filled balloons and we lifted them high, sending up the spirit of love, grace and peace together! Christ is risen, indeed! Love will not fail!

Join us at 10am for our Easter Worship as we celebrate that the tomb is empty and that God transforms the signs of death into the symbols of life. We'll have special music from our choir and praise band, a few surprises, and an egg hunt to follow for the kids. We come together to share in the day of resurrection that Christ has risen!

Today is Ash Wednesday as we begin the season of Lent, reflecting on our humanity and mortality. Dinner together is tonight at 6pm followed by our service of Ashes at 7pm.

This year, as we gather for a meal before our service, we also have members who are serving the meal at Bread of Life. In order to honor this moment we'll be sharing in this feast together, eating the same meal that we are serving to those who receive services there. It's another reminder of our humanity, that we need to eat food for sustenance, and that the world needs us to share this with one another. We celebrate together that life is a gift and that we are called to sustain one another!

Our offering at the service and our donations for the meal will go to support Bread of Life.
