What's the Point of Holy Week?
Welcome into God's time! I'm writing to invite you to invite you into the opportunities we have this weekend to "re-enter" the story of salvation history: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday.
The Christian calendar is marked by holy days that help us remember that all time is God's time. We observe these days as a means of community discipleship. As we re-enter (and even reenact) the story of Jesus, from the Last Supper sharing the Passover Meal to Easter Sunday celebrating Christ's victory over death, we are reminded that Christian faith is about about floating up to heaven after we die but about the God who came to earth and is coming back again to raise us from the dead! Jesus is the conclusion of human history, the destiny of all creation.
We are living between the times, where faith is not merely a mental ascent but a daily embodiment, as we improvise our role as supporting characters in the second to last chapter of the story of salvation history, the story of Jesus!


Passover Meal | APRIL 2nd, 6PM

Thursday evening we we will gather to feast together with a traditional Passover meal, but we will do so in light of its fulfillment in Jesus. We will remember that the same God who rescued his people out of slavery in Egypt, has acted once for all in Jesus Christ to rescue all people out of slavery to sin, delivering us from death! Passover is no longer about the lamb on the table but about the Lamb at the Table. "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (Jn. 1:29). 

Good Friday | APRIL 3rd, 6:30PM

From the Last Supper to the Lord's Supper
Friday night is our Good Friday service with The Refuge Church (at Crossroads), where our Lent Series, Hunger for God, will take us from the Last Supper to the Lord's Supper at the hinge of salvation history. We'll see how Jesus established the Covenant meal that would forever define his relationship to his people and our relationship with one another, where the body of Christ broken for us makes us one body, many members. "Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread" (1 Cor. 10:17).

Easter Sunday | APRIL 5th

9:00am - Donuts & Coffee
10:00am -  Easter Egg Hunt (for kids) and "Easter Armageddon"

Service Coffee and donuts will be served before the service. Doors will open at 9:00am and child check in will begin at 9:00am.
 After worshiping together in song (including the kids having the opportunity to come to the front and grab an instrument to make a joyful noise!), we'll dismiss the elementary aged kids for children's church and an easter egg hunt and proceed with our Easter service exploring the true meaning of Armageddon in light of Easter.
Don't worry, Jesus wins! Make sure you invite a neighbor or bring a friend!
