Gathered faithfully to love and serve God and all others

Today, we remember Christ's passion and death in two worship services.

Whether you attend in person or via LIVESTREAM, follow along in the bulletin by clicking the corresponding button below.

Stations of the Cross, 2 p.m.

As we journey with Christ on the way of the cross, we pray the stories of life and death, of love's victory over hate and violence, and of the everlasting destiny of peace. We praise Christ Jesus because, by his Holy Cross, he has redeemed the whole world.

Live-streaming may not be available for this service.

Tenebrae, 7 p.m.

Tonight, life and death stand side by side. Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he is put on trial and sentenced to death. Darkness descends on our worship as we pray for the whole world, knowing that Christ’s death offers life to all. We gather in solemn devotion, but always with the promise that the tree around which we assemble is indeed a tree of life. We depart silently, and we anticipate the culmination of the Three Days in the Easter Vigil.

Please prayerfully consider a special thank offering to help support the many ministries at Faith. Give as you are able. Any amount is appreciated.
