Maundy Thursday on Wednesday
7:00pm | Fellowship Hall
On Wednesday, April 16, we will
celebrate Maundy Thursday, the
day when Jesus shared his last
supper with his disciples, washing
their feet in humility and service,
and instituting communion.
We will reenact Maundy Thursday,
as it would have occurred with
Jesus around the table after a
shared meal. Children, youth and
adults are invited to participate in
this unique experiential worship
service in the Fellowship Hall at
6:00pm. (Wednesday night supper
will be served as usual.)

Good Friday

Good Friday, April 18, is always
a solemn remembrance, marking
Jesus’ crucifixion and death; we
will worship in Carpenter Chapel at
6:00pm. Our observance of Good
Friday enriches the sweet joy of
Easter and the glorious celebration
of Jesus’ resurrection from the
dead.

Sunrise Easter Worship
7:00am | Columbarium
This short and reflective service adapts the ancient Christian practice of the Easter vigil around a bonfire. We gather with prayer, Scripture and song to experience the world turning from shadow to light on Easter morning. The service will also include a water blessing in remembrance of our baptisms. In case of inclement weather, we will gather in the AYMC (basketball gym level) to watch the sunrise over the Reedy River.

All children will take home a gift designed to help them remember the story of Jesus’ life and resurrection. In case of inclement weather, this service will be held in the Fellowship Hall.
