Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week (the Sunday before Easter) and is celebrated as Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. As He entered the city, people cut palm branches, waved them in the air, and laid them on the ground before Jesus as He rode into the city on a donkey. The palm branches represented goodness and were symbolic of the final victory He would soon fulfill over death.

MAUNDY THURSDAY | THURSDAY, APRIL 6

North Indy - Sanctuary & Online | 7PM
Midtown - Sanctuary | 7PM
Childcare is available for ages infant-4 years

Holy Thursday is also referred to as Maundy Thursday. Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter and is celebrated in commemoration of the Last Supper. The word “maundy” is derived from the Latin word for command, and is a reference to Jesus’ commandment to the disciples to “love one another as I have loved you.” We will celebrate Holy Communion in this service, as we honor Jesus’ life and sacrifice. We invite you to join us in taking Communion at home during the service.

GOOD FRIDAY | APRIL 7

North Indy - Sanctuary & Online | 12PM, 7PM
Childcare is available at 7PM for ages infant-4 years

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus and His death on the cross. The word “good” can be interpreted as “holy.” The death of Jesus led to His Resurrection and victory over sin, and leads us to the celebration of Easter. This service is traditionally a service of darkness, we invite you to darken the room in which you are watching.

EASTER SUNDAY | APRIL 9

Kids programming is available at North Indy for ages infant-4th grade. Nursery care is available at Midtown

Easter celebrates Jesus’ triumph over death. His Resurrection is the good news of Christian tradition. Join us as we celebrate the good news of our victory through Jesus. While registration is not required, it is strongly encouraged.

Stations of the Cross

March 26-April 7 | North Indy & Online only

Christian Pilgrims for centuries have journeyed to the Old City in Jerusalem to walk in the final footsteps of Jesus along the Via Delorosa, the Way of the Cross. During the Crusades it was not safe to go to Jerusalem so churches in Europe began to create 14 Stations to tell the story of Jesus last journey, from his meeting with Pilate to his burial in the tomb. Almost every Catholic Church in the world has the Stations of the Cross permanently displayed.

This year we are offering a Protestant version of the Stations beginning in the Garden of Gethsemane. All the Stations are related to scripture passages and the readings are accompanied by instructions for an action that will deepen your experience. We have also included experiences for children. The journey is appropriate for individuals, families and adult/youth classes and small groups.

Starting on Monday, March 27 through Friday, April 7, whenever the church is open, come to the Stations of the Cross Welcome Station in the Gathering Area by the main doors to the sanctuary. The entire experience is located in the Gathering Area. Printed booklets and a QR code for use of your phone will be available.
