  • Great Big Egg Hunt

    Front Lawn

    Mark your calendars for our Great Big Egg Hunt on March 27 at 4:30 p.m. on the front lawn! Children ages birth to 5th grade are invited for eggs, pizza, and springtime fun on the front lawn. We are celebrating and sharing God’s great big love, and we ask every family to bring a stuffed bunny or Easter candy to share with our local food pantry so we can pass that joy forward to our neighbors in need. We’ll provide pizza. Bring your own basket and get ready to hunt! Registration opens March 11.

  • Palm Sunday Palm Processional

    Sanctuary

    The 11 a.m. service will open with a palm processional. All children and youth (birth through 18) are invited to take part in this meaningful tradition. Processional Details: Children and youth should meet in the Fellowship Hall at 10:40 a.m. to line up. Families are invited to attend the Children’s Musical at 10 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall and then stay afterward for the processional lineup. Parents, please remember to save pew space for your children (including choir members), as this will be a high-attendance Sunday. Important Notes: Children who are dropped off in the Fellowship Hall must be old enough and comfortable walking down the aisle independently. Parents of toddlers and younger children are encouraged to walk with them during the processional. We can’t wait to see palms waving and children leading us into worship as we remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
