THERE IS A SERVICE FOR MAUNDY THURSDAY TODAY AT 12 NOON AND 7PM- Thursday, April 2, 2026.

It was brought to our attention earlier today that there may be inaccurate information about the 7PM service online through an AI answer. It said we have no power in the building and that the 7PM service was cancelled. This information is from 2024, NOT 2026. We currently HAVE power and will be here for worship at 7PM.

Early this week we discovered that TEP is doing a MAJOR pole replacement project and update of wires in our area that they expect to finish before Saturday. We received a notice that our power will be off for approximately 8 hours starting Thursday evening. Due to possible safety issues with no lighting, we are cancelling the 7PM worship service tomorrow on Maundy Thursday. The noon service will still be held and recorded for posting online. At this time, we expect to be able to have Good Friday services as planned at noon and a Tenebrae service at 7PM.
On Holy Saturday, we plan to be doing Easter setup and decorating starting at 10AM. On Easter, we have a Potluck Breakfast at 8:30AM and Festival Worship at 10AM.
