As we approach the most sacred days of the Christian calendar, we invite everyone to pause and reflect on the profound love and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. This Holy Week is a precious opportunity to trade our daily distractions for a deeper connection with God, finding renewal in His Word and peace in His presence. It is a time to honor the gift of salvation and to dwell on the hope that the coming resurrection brings to all our lives.

In observance of these holy days, we will be adjusting our schedule to allow our entire team the opportunity to spend time in prayer, attend services, and gather with their families in worship.

Please take note of our Holy Week schedule:

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐 (𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲): 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃
𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟑 (𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲): 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃
𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟒 (𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲): 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟖:𝟑𝟎 𝐀𝐌 𝐭𝐨 𝟓:𝟑𝟎 𝐏𝐌

We believe that a well-spent pause in His presence makes for a more vibrant return. We will be back on Saturday, refreshed and ready to serve you with a spirit of joy. Until then, we wish you a deeply meaningful, safe, and blessed Holy Week. May the grace of the Lord fill your hearts and homes with divine light during this season of spiritual awakening.
