Shrove "Tuesday"
(to be celebrated on Sunday February 15th after 8:30 and 10:30 AM services)
Although it is not part of the Lent season, Shrove Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, or Carnival, serves as a day for our congregation to come together in preparation for Lent. We will share a breakfast of pancakes and engage in outreach activities. This gathering offers us an opportunity to reflect on our faith as we transition into the solemnity of Lent. Please join us and invite your family and friends as we embrace fellowship and service in anticipation of the journey ahead.

Washing of the Feet
(Maundy Thursday April 2nd at 7:00 PM)
The Washing of the Feet ceremony is a profound moment during Maundy Thursday's Worship service. Midway through the service, Pastor Lucas invites congregants to come forward for the washing of their feet, reflecting the example set by Jesus at the Last Supper. This act is a powerful reminder of service, humility, and love, encouraging us to embrace a spirit of servanthood in our daily lives and serve others just as Christ served us.

Easter
(Easter Sunday April 5th 10:00 AM)
Easter Sunday marks the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which took place three days after His crucifixion. On this day, we come together to reflect on and express gratitude for Christ's ultimate sacrifice: His death on the cross for our sins and his raising from the dead to give us eternal life with God.
We invite you, your family, and friends to celebrate this day with us and embody the message of hope and salvation in our everyday lives.
