Third Sunday of Easter & Honoring our First Responders Sunday

Join us on Sunday, April 19th at 10:00 AM for a special worship service honoring the brave men and women who serve and protect our community every day.

We will recognize and pray for our local heroes — police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and military members — giving thanks for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication.

This meaningful service is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, show our support, and lift up those who put their lives on the line for others.

All are welcome — invite a friend!

Coffee Hour: Contributions of fruit, baked goods, (gluten-free items appreciated also), juice, etc. are appreciated! Thank you to all of our volunteers!

Attention Parents—the Nursery room in Fellowship Hall is available for you and your children to use during the service. We ask that you stay with your child—the room is not staffed. The service can be heard through a speaker in the room. We hope that this will be a comfortable space available to you and your child(ren) on Sundays.

Easter Sunday | “Rockin’ Resurrection!“

We warmly invite you to join our church family for worship during this Easter Sunday.

On Easter morning, we will gather at 7:00 AM for a Sunrise Service overlooking Blair Lake, celebrating the dawn of resurrection hope. (Please note that in case of inclement weather, the 7 AM service will be moved to Fellowship Hall.) Then at 10:00 AM, we will come together in the Sanctuary for Easter worship, proclaiming with joy God’s victory over sin and death.

The Chancel Choir, under the direction of Maggie Morokutti, along with organist Tim Topolski, will offer meaningful and inspiring music. Together, we will celebrate Holy Communion, remembering Jesus’ commandment to love one another and his promise to be present wherever two or three are gathered.

On behalf of the church staff, Session, and Board of Deacons, we sincerely hope you will join us. May the joy of the Easter season overflow in your heart and in your life.

God be with you and bless you all.

No coffee hour this Sunday. Thank you to all of our volunteers!
