Join us for a Tenebrae service. Our organist Shelton Ridge Love will present a recital of piano and organ music interspersed with scripture reflections as we remember Christ’s journey to the cross. Candles symbolize Christ, who is our Light and the Light of the World. In Tenebrae the candles are progressively extinguished. On Easter Sunday morning, the lighting of the Christ Candle will represent the resurrection of Jesus.

Easter Sunday Worship Service (Sanctuary)

Easter Sunday has traditionally been a Sunday of baptism in the history of the church. Our Easter celebration will follow that cherished model. We will gather in the sanctuary for an hour of music, sermon, litany and baptisms. We will hear the words often spoken over these holy waters, “You are buried with Christ and raised to walk in newness of life. Hallelujah!”
