Maundy Thursday

Come to the Table and join Pastor Bill Grueninger on Thursday, April 9th at 6:30pm. Learn who was gathered as Jesus ate His last earthly meal with His disciples and where you sit at the table.

Good Friday

On a day where we fully experience the depth of Jesus’ love for us, connect at 1:00pm or 7:00pm on Friday, April 10th for Tenebrae worship (Service of Darkness). Pastor Eric Trickey, Pastor Bill Grueninger, and Pastor Mark Gearig recall the final places Jesus Walks all the way to the Cross, while Pastor Wray Offermann brings God’s Word to our ears.

Easter Sunday

Finally, a day to celebrate! While we cannot gather together for this joyous day, we can raise a hallelujah from wherever we are and also proclaim “He is Risen! He is Risen indeed, Hallelujah!”. We are offering a traditional Easter worship at 8:00am and contemporary Easter worship at 10:30am on April 12th.
