This Easter season, journey with us toward the cross and the empty tomb.
For five consecutive Wednesday nights, we’ll gather for worship, prayer, and teaching as we walk through Holy Week together and prepare our hearts for Easter. Along the way, we’ll be praying intentionally, reading Scripture as one church family, and focusing on the people in our lives who need to know Jesus.
On Sunday, March 1st, everyone will receive a daily Scripture bookmark with highlighted verses to read at home, keeping us united throughout the 33 days leading up to Easter. On the final Wednesday night, we’ll take the Lord’s Supper together as we reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection hope.
Make it a priority. Invite someone. Join us on Wednesday nights.
This is a powerful opportunity—for you, your family, and those you bring with you.
