A HEART-PROVOKING DEVOTIONAL EXPERIENCE
April 2-3, 2023 -- As you enter the sanctuary, you do so as a pilgrim, focusing on the passion of Jesus. 10 crosses will serve as stations along the way. At each station, you are able to read Scripture, reflect on a unique cross, and participate in the Holy Week story in a tangible way.
