"Holy Week" tells the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. If you're new to Christian faith or want to connect with a church community where you can experience Easter as you are, we welcome you. We invite folks of all backgrounds and faiths to learn about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection as told by Lutherans!

Palm Sunday, March 29 - Services at 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. When Jesus entered Jerusalem, he didn't arrive on a noble steed, but on a humble donkey. Others laid down palm branches as he came in, shouting "Hosanna!" a Hebrew word for salvation. Join us on Palm Sunday as we too welcome the humble Jesus by waving palm branches.
