What's Happening in April

Holy Week is a time for Christians to reflect on the last week of Jesus life - his journey to the Cross, beginning with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and concluding with his lonely trek from the Upper Room through Gethsemane and ultimately to Calvary and the empty tomb. Join us in our Holy Week discipleship as we follow the steps of Jesus Christ and retrace the major events that occurred each day of the most important week on the Christian calendar.
