HOLY WEEK WORSHIP

Maundy Thursday
Plan to worship at 10:00 a.m.

Good Friday
Friday, April 6, 1:00 and 7:00 p.m.
Christians around the world gather on this solemn day to remember the greatest sacrifice of love the world has ever seen. Even the anticipated celebration of our Lord's resurrection cannot diminish the horror at the sight of the very Son of God hanging on a cross in our place-stricken, smitten, and afflicted for us and for our salvation, because of our sin. In quiet reflection we ponder the great cost by which we receive the gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation.

Ways to serve

Worship for Children

Since the worship of God is a key component to God’s people and the life of the Christian family, many aspects of our Children’s ministry revolve around worship:

Each Sunday the worship bulletin includes a worship hint for families with young children. These hints help parents and young children learn more about worship and/or the theme of the worship service for the day.

Church bags are available for young worshipers. These contain a Bible based activity sheet and crayons; a Bible story book; a small stuffed animal; and a snack.

Children are invited to come to join one of the pastor’s or minister to families with young children for a special Children’s message at non-communion 8:00 AM services.

Children, ages 4 – 8, are encouraged to be part of Children’s Church during the sermon at the 11:00 AM services. Children follow a processional cross and go to the choir room for an age-appropriate, Christ-centered message. They leave with an activity and a guide for parents to use to discuss what they learned.

Our Church Nursery is open during worship services. Children and caregivers can view and hear the worship service on a closed circuit television as they plan and interact with caregivers. Our church workers have gone through background checks and receive first aid and cpr training. When parents sign-in their children, they receive a parent pager so they can be notified if they are needed in the nursery.
