Safety Protocols for In-Person Sunday Morning Gathering
As we continue to rent Aggie Park for the next month, we are bound by their rules. Like many private businesses, they are still requiring people to wear masks when inside the facility, so we will also ask you to do the same. If sitting inside, please continue to keep your mask on for the entirety of the service. As we consider our next meeting space, we will reevaluate based on the rules of the space, CDC guidelines, and TEA guidelines. So for the next month, masks are required inside of the facility at Aggie Park. As always, you are welcome to drop the mask if sitting outside for worship. We will continue to live-stream our services for those of you who are taking extra precautions or just prefer to not wear a mask at all. We love all of you, respect your opinions, and pray you will be patient as we struggle to navigate this season.
Good Friday Tenebrae Service
‘Tenebrae’ means darkness or shadows. As we come to the end of Lent, we begin a journey into darkness to a place of deep shadows. This service is a somber service where we read scripture from the last week of Jesus’ life and sing together. We enter into the depth of sadness and darkness that would have been felt after Jesus died on the cross, before Easter Sunday. This service is a preparation to celebrate Easter Sunday morning. Click here to join us on April 2nd for a streamed Tenebrae Service at noon.
Easter Sunday Registration
Join us for our Easter events on Easter Sunday. We will have a photo op, egg hunt, and a children’s service prior to our 10 am church service. Events start at 9:15am, so come early to join in on the fun! To register to attend Easter Sunday you can click here.
Lent Guide: Journey to the Cross
We want this season of Lent to be one where together we are not just meditating on the things of God, but one where we are practicing them together. In order to help with this, we have created this Lent Guide that includes mediations, prayers, and some practices for us to do together.
