Palm Sunday

March 29, 2026

The name comes from a story in the Bible in which Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem. The people of Jerusalem were excited that Jesus was coming to their city to celebrate a big religious festival. In their excitement, the people grabbed palm branches to wave around and threw their cloaks before Jesus on the road. 

Today, we still commemorate Palm Sunday. It starts off a week of remembrance for Christians, often referred to as Holy Week. The week ends with the celebration of Easter, and throughout this week, we mark the different events that led to Jesus' Resurrection and Easter.

Maundy Thursday Worship Service

April 2, 2026, 7:00 pm

On the Thursday before Good Friday and Easter, many Christians observe Maundy Thursday. This day commemorates Jesus’s last supper with his disciples. During that meal in the upper room, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and gave them a new commandment: “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (John 13:34). The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning “command.”

In commemoration of the Last Supper, Christians often partake in a simple meal of bread and wine—commonly known as the Lord’s Supper or Communion—during Maundy Thursday worship services. 

Good Friday Worship Service

April 3, 2026, 7:00 pm

This is a day that proclaims God's purpose of loving and redeeming the world through the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Even though we are looking back on the cross, we call it a “good” day because, through Jesus’ death, God closed the gap between Him and us. God was not making the best of a bad situation but working out His intention for the world—winning salvation for all people. We also call it “good” because we look back at the crucifixion through the lens of Easter.
