Holy Week
Holy Week begins as we lift our eco-palms high on Palm Sunday, stepping into a sacred week filled with community and celebration. From shared potluck dinners to outdoor gatherings, we journey together toward Easter. On Easter Sunday, we offer two meaningful worship experiences: a peaceful sunrise worship at Gray’s Lake Park and a joyful 10 AM celebration in our worship space. Whether it’s your first time with us or your 50th, you are wholeheartedly welcomed, embraced, and affirmed just as you are.

You're invited to bring a dish and beverage to share as we remember Jesus’ last meal with his disciples and his call to love one another. We’ll spend time wondering together: “Who is Mary Magdalene?” through the lenses of the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
