Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and ends with Easter Sunday. During this one week, many biblical prophesies were fulfilled. Jesus came to earth to save humanity by dying on the cross on Good Friday and resurrecting on Easter Sunday. By enduring and defeating death sacrificially for us, He swung open the gates of heaven making a way for our sin to be forgiven and usher us into the presence of God (Romans 5:8).
Here are the dates for Holy Week for 2024: Sunday, March 24 – Saturday, March 30. Easter is on Sunday, March 31.

Graduation Sunday is quickly approaching and we would like to recognize our students milestone of graduation.
This year, we would like to get photos of your graduate with a short quote from them. This may be a life’s lesson, a testimony or something that they want us to know about them. Also, for high school seniors, include their next step such as the college that they will attend or employer that they will work for. College graduates might add where they plan on working after graduation.
If you wish to participate in this recognition, email your photo(s) with your graduate’s full name, their quote and school graduating from.
