Easter Sunday Worship – March 31, 2024

Join us for a festive celebration of the Resurrection and the promise fulfilled of eternal life through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. After the Easter service, young children gather with Easter baskets and an Easter Egg Hunt. Why do we hunt eggs and why do we have a bunny? Bunnies are known to be prolific baby bunny makers, so they are a sign of the abundance of God’s love, mercy, and grace! Eggs are an outward and visible sign of life – the never ending creation of Almighty God.
