Maundy Thursday Service on April 2 at 7:00
On Maundy Thursday the church remembers the last evening Jesus shared with his disciples in the upper room before his arrest and crucifixion. The name “Maundy Thursday” comes from the Latin mandatum novum, referring to the “new commandment” Jesus taught his disciples (John 13:34). In other words, this is “new commandment Thursday.” If you missed the service, you can watch the service online at the link below.
Good Friday Service Audio Available
The Alleluia and Chamber Singers, together with professional soloists and instrumentalists, will present “Love Unknown,” a collection of anthems and hymns that focus on Christ’s sacrifice. Repertoire includes “Adagio in G Minor” by Tomaso Albinoni, several movements of Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, a poignant setting of “Jesus, Lover of My Soul” by Philip Stopford, and a new orchestral work by Dave Gardner, “Crucifixus,” which paints the scenes of Jesus’ journey to the cross. The work features trumpet soloist Jason Johnson. We hope you will find this service immensely moving and meaningful. If you missed the service, you can listen to an audio recording of the service at the link below.

As a community of Christians, we welcome inclusively all who seek to learn and grow in the Christian faith. Our congregation is part of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. We celebrate our congregational life through traditional worship, exceptional music, excellent education, and energetic fellowship and mission programs.
About Worship & Music
Based in the Reformed Tradition, the worship experience includes the reading and preaching of the Scriptures as well as expressions of prayer and praise. Music is a central part of worship with an exceptional program of music adding depth and vitality to the worship experience. The participation of children is valued in worship. Secured child care is provided for children up through age four, if desired.
We celebrate ”Open Communion” which means that if you are a baptized member of another Christian denomination you are welcome to share this sacrament with us. Communion is generally served on a monthly basis as part of the worship service.
