- Midweek: Midweek on April 1st will be cancelled due to our Good Friday service on April 3rd at 7pm.
- Good Friday Service: Our Good Friday service will be on April 3rd at 7pm. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to allow for a quiet and reverent start. As we gather to reflect on the crucifixion of Christ, we encourage all who attend to help maintain a solemn and worshipful atmosphere:
- Please keep conversation to a minimum and observe silence once you are seated.
- Attire should be modest and respectful; darker, subdued clothing is appropriate, though reverence is more important than formality.
- Kindly silence or turn off all phones and electronic devices before the service begins.
- The service will conclude in silence, without a closing prayer or formal dismissal. We ask that all depart quietly to preserve the reflective tone.
- Please note that childcare will not be provided for this service. We encourage families to plan accordingly.
- Kingdom Brotherhood: The Kingdom Brotherhood meeting on Saturday, March 28th at 9:00am will be held via zoom. Please see the information below:
