Holy Week & Easter Sunday

Over the course of Holy Week, we slowed our pace, walking in real-time through the events leading up to Easter Sunday. Heartfelt
thanks to the altar guild, sanctuary cleaners, musicians, worship assistants, ushers, cross decorators, and any who helped make this time so beautiful.

Special thanks to Tony VanMeeteren for building the cross for our worship services. It was used on Good Friday for devotional focus, when worshipers were invited to put a nail in the cross as a reminder of how our sins were paid for by Jesus. On Sunday, it was draped in gold as a sign of Jesus' victory and of the promise of new life in him.
