Just inside, you'll visit the Welcome Hub where you'll be able to get a ticket for your desired venue (Sanctuary or Worship Center) and desired location (Sanctuary Floor or Balcony). We will have refreshments, a small seating area and Lenten Art displays to view on your way to your preferred venue.

Watch and Pray: a 24-hour Prayer Vigil

You are invited to join us by participating in a 24-hour prayer vigil, in which we bring ourselves, our neighbors, our church, our mission partners, our city, and our world before God. As a church, we will “watch and pray” with Christ, from 8 p.m. on Maundy Thursday, April 6, through 8 p.m. on Good Friday, April 7. Participants can sign up for one or more 15-minute time slots, with the goal of having at least two people praying every moment of these 24 hours. Each participant will be emailed a prayer guide to facilitate their prayer time, but please feel free to pray however the Holy Spirit leads. Join in from wherever you are or come and pray in Room 102 at church between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Good Friday.
