Easter Sunday

As we gather, we honor the sacred traditions of Maundy Thursday, embracing the spirit of unity and service exemplified by Jesus. Experience a deeply meaningful ceremony that invites reflection, communion, and a sense of shared humanity. Through inclusive language and thoughtful interpretation, we explore the timeless messages of love, compassion, and humility.

And mark your calendars for Easter Sunday, where our celebration continues with joyous festivities! Join us for special music, indulge in delicious crepes during coffee hour, and be uplifted by the angelic voices of our amazing choir as we rejoice in the resurrection and the promise of new beginnings.

All are welcome to join us in fellowship and worship as we embrace the rich tapestry of faith, community, and love. We look forward to sharing these sacred moments with you.

Don’t forget to bring you flowers to decorate the Easter Cross. He is risen!

  • “My kids and I couldn't be happier in this church, we are truly lucky to be a part of this congregation! My kids love going to Sunday school, and the lessons are very hands on. Ms. Lauren and Ms. Myrna offer wonderful discussions. They often talk about nature and caring for our planet and do an array of art projects, decorate pots, plant beautiful flowers, and paint birdhouses. They discuss helping others and being of service, for example, by decorating bags and filling them with food and toiletries for the unhoused population, along with making cards with thoughtful messages in them. The kids love the days when they get to cook or bake with Ms. Martha!

    Pastor Sarah's sermons are inspirational and thought provoking. She has the most amazing sermon series. One of my favorites was The Gospel on Broadway. So fun! Which brings me to our amazing choir and choral interns, pianist and musical director. Beautiful and moving music every Sunday!

    I love that everyone is free to believe whatever they like. The congregation is open and affirming and highlights social justice. I'd encourage people and especially parents with young children to check it out!”
