Palm Sunday | March 29
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, a time to remember the final days of Jesus’ life. On this day, Jesus entered Jerusalem as King, riding on a donkey while the crowds shouted "Hosanna!" and laid palm branches before Him.
Join us for a joyful service featuring a procession of palms waved by the children as we celebrate Christ’s triumphant entry. Come worship with us as we prepare our hearts for the journey to Easter.
8:30, 9:45, and 11:00 a.m. (11:00 a.m. service will be live-streamed)
All are welcome!

8:30 attendees – Stay for the beginning of 9:45 to sing and wave before heading out (or stay for pancakes!).
9:45 attendees – Sing and wave, enjoy pancakes, then stay for the beginning of 11:00 to wave again before leaving.

PRAYER & HEALING SERVICE | march 30 | 6:30 p.m. | Chapel
Based on James 5:13-16, where those who are sick may come to the elders of the church and be prayed over.
It’s a powerful service that focuses on God’s healing love. Whether someone needs physical, emotional, spiritual, or relationship healing. Or, if they have someone in their life they worry over. They are invited to come, be anointed with oil, spend some time in prayer, and seek God’s healing. All are welcome.
Maundy Thursday | Living last supper | April 2 | 6:30 p.m. | Chapel
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter and remembers the night Jesus shared the Last Supper with His disciples and gave the command to “love one another as I have loved you.”
At First Church, we honor this meaningful day with a reenactment of the Last Supper. It is a special tradition, and we hope you will come and invite someone to come with you.
This service will be live-streamed
GOOD FRIDAY | April 3 | 6:30 P.M. | Sanctuary
Experience a powerful Good Friday service with the Traditional Tenebrae, featuring scripture and music. As the light fades, we reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice, His death on the cross, and its profound meaning for our lives.
You are invited to participate in this moving time of worship and reflection as we prepare our hearts for Easter. The service will feature the "Seven Last Words of Christ".
