April 4th @ 10AM

We will gather on Easter Sunday to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, our King and our Salvation.  If God has given you the Grace to know Him in a new way over this year since Easter ReLaunch 2009, then extend that invitation to another person so they too may experience His Grace in the year to come. Grab some Invite Cards at church on Sunday to pass onto your circle of friends and family!

Good Friday, April 2nd: Stations of the Cross 6am-6pm

This is a great way to pause the busy-ness of our lives and take 30 minutes to remember the significance of the Easter Season. Walking the Stations on Good Friday is a spiritual practice that invites us to pray using our whole body, senses, memory, touch, smell, etc. If you have never walked the Stations of the Cross why not stretch yourself this Easter and experience a new way to hear an old, old Story.

Saturday, April 3rd:  Easter Egg Hunt 12-2:30 pm
