FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2026 FROM 6-8PM

Join us as we journey through the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life. This interactive, self-guided time of reflection invites you to slow down and engage the story of the cross through Scripture readings, guided prayer, communion, and worship. You’ll have space to reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and respond in gratitude and faith. Come and go at your convenience. This is a family-friendly event with engaging materials designed to help children understand the significance of Good Friday alongside their families. Prepare your heart for Easter as we remember the love and grace shown at the cross.
