Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is coming—and we would love to celebrate with you on Sunday, April 5! Christ is Risen! Hallelujah! Join us for one of our four Easter services (see times listed below) as we gather to worship, rejoice, and proclaim the hope of the empty tomb. It’s a joyful morning for the whole family, with nursery provided at all services and children’s worship opportunities available as listed. Be sure to stop by the Flowered Cross in the Walton Garden, a beautiful reminder of new life in Jesus and a special place for Easter photos.
Easter Sunday also marks the beginning of a brand-new series, Living Hope: Easter with Peter. Together, we’ll experience the resurrection through the eyes of Peter and discover how the risen Christ transforms failure into forgiveness, despair into joy, and doubt into bold hope. In week one, we’ll reflect on Peter’s encounter with the risen Lord and what it means for us to share in the power of the resurrection—right now. Come celebrate the victory of Jesus and the living hope we have in Him. We can’t wait to worship with you! 🌸✨
