Our first celebration of the resurrection takes place at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday starting at 7:30 pm. We begin in darkness, and we hear again some of the moat  powerful Old Testament stories. We decorate the sanctuary and celebrate Holy Communion. 

EASTER SUNDAY

Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed!

Easter Sunday is a great day of celebration. We have a special Easter Sunday Worship Schedule with three services: 7:30, 9:30, and 11:15. We decorate the church with flowers, banners, and special altar furnishings.


Our teens also host a breakfast as a fundraiser for the National Youth Gathering in 2021. It is served between 8 am and 10:30 am in All Saints' Hall. It is helpful to make reservations in advance, but all are welcome for this special time of fellowship.
