Holy Week in One Hour in One Night

Wednesday, April 16, 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

This service was created for families with young children who may not be able to make all of the Holy Week services. We will enjoy dinner together - experiencing the elements of the Last Supper, a simple seder meal, with communion. We will wash one another's feet. We'll journey to 'the garden' and then see a cross and a tomb. This is geared toward our Wonder Church families, and all are welcome to this interactive service. For planning purposes, please register via Realm.
