10:00–10:15 AM – Easter Egg Hunt
10:15 AM – Celebration Worship with Holy Communion
We will gather in silence and hear again the account of Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion. The sanctuary will be stripped bare, lit only by candlelight, as we mark the depth of his suffering and love.
This is a contemplative service—quiet, unhurried, and reflective.
On this night, we are invited to keep watch with Christ…
to listen, to pray, and to remain present at the cross.
On this night, we hear Jesus’ command to love and serve one another as he has served us. Together, we will remember the Last Supper and the gift of his presence among us.
This service will include:
Holy Communion
Individual Absolution with the Laying on of Hands
Scripture, prayer, and quiet reflection
Come and receive grace. Come and be renewed for the journey to the cross.
Our service opens with the Blessing of the Palms and a child’s reading of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem—a moment of celebration as we wave palms and sing “Hosanna.”
Then, the tone shifts.
In place of a sermon, we will hear the full story of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, trial, and crucifixion as told in the Gospel according to Matthew. Together, we walk the path from praise to the cross.
Holy Communion will be celebrated.
Through candlelight, scripture, quiet reflection, and simple sung prayer, we pause at day’s end to rest in God’s presence. This contemplative service offers a peaceful space to breathe, listen, and be renewed in the midst of a busy week. All are welcome — come as you are.

This is not a service of shame. It is a service of grounding. We come to set down the burdens we carry, to hear again the mercy of God, and to begin the journey toward Easter with open hearts.
The service includes scripture, confession, reflection, the optional mark of ashes on your forehead, and Holy Communion. You are welcome to participate at whatever level feels comfortable.
The 7:00PM service will include music and singing while the 12:30PM service does not.
On Ash Wednesday we gather to remember a truth we usually avoid: we are human, fragile, and finite. We receive ashes in the shape of a cross — an ancient sign of repentance and a quiet promise that God meets us not in perfection, but in real life. It is a service of grounding. We come to set down the burdens we carry, to hear again the mercy of God, and to begin the journey toward Easter with open hearts.
The service includes scripture, prayer, confession, reflection, the optional imposition of ashes and Holy Communion. You are welcome to participate at whatever level feels comfortable.
You do not need to be certain about what you believe. You only need to come.
You’re invited to a warm, hope-filled Christmas Eve candlelight service as we gather to sing familiar carols, hear the story of Christ’s birth, celebrate Holy Communion, and share candlelight as the sanctuary fills with “Silent Night.”
Come as you are—bring family, friends, and neighbors. All are welcome.
What to expect: carols • scripture • short message • Holy Communion • candlelight
Family note: children are welcome; it’s okay if they wiggle—this is Christmas.

Always wanted to study the Bible, but just couldn't do it? Well here is a pain-free and (I guarantee) enjoyable way to learn more about Jesus, his disciples, his life and times and what it all means for you! THE CHOSEN is a worldwide phenomenon that is currently spreading the gospel message all over the world! It is a creative and imaginative interpretation of the Jesus event - a piece of religious art, as it were, that will connect you to Jesus and his ministry in a brand new, exciting and comfortable way. We will meet at 11:00 a.m. and watch the very first Season, Episodes 1 and 2 (about 45 mins each). Then we'll chat about it, putting the story in its historical, religious and cultural context. Any and all questions are welcome. Engaging. Educational. Emotional. Relational. Come and See what The Chosen experience can be!
Prayer is one of the most important parts of our ongoing relationship with God, and yet it is one thing that we probably neglect if we did not learn effective ways to communicate. This class will explore why we pray, to whom we pray and some easy ways to increase your daily prayer life without really trying!
Led by Pastor Susan Langhauser
You are invited to bring a small photo of someone who has died who was a positive influence in your Christian faith and post it on a bulletin board at the front of the sanctuary before the start of worship. These will remain up throughout November.
