It’s not too late to spend some time at The Stations of the Cross!
Lenten Prayer Experience for All Ages
If you haven’t taken the opportunity to spend time contemplating exactly what Jesus did for us, there is still time to visit the Stations of the Cross. It can be done as individuals or groups. The stations will be available Thursday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. There will also be time to visit from 5:00 p.m. to the beginning of the Good Friday service at 6:00 p.m. It will take approximately 30 minutes to visit all the stations.

Holy Week Service
Good Friday reminds us of the brokenness in our world – in sin, tragedy, disaster, terrorism. In his death on the Cross, Jesus engages directly with that brokenness. This is God’s most loving action. Love in action; not just sympathy. Through scripture, song, and the wrapping of the cross, we will remember God’s greatest act of love for us.
