Weekly Devotion
WEEKLY DEVOTION

Philippians 3:17-4:1 Devotional

Philippians 3:17-4:1 calls us to imitate Paul's example, to live as citizens of heaven and avoid the pitfalls of those who prioritize earthly desires. Paul's example is not just a suggestion but an encouragement to live according to the Gospel message.

As heavenly citizens, we must focus on our eternal destiny and actively live lives that reflect our heavenly citizenship, both now and in eternity. We are encouraged to remain strong in our faith, seeking God's guidance and power to live a life worthy of our heavenly calling.

We pray that God will help us discern the values of this world and see the true worth of our heavenly citizenship. We pray that God grants us the strength to resist the desires of the flesh and to stand firm in our truth. We pray that God inspires us to live as imitators of Christ, eagerly awaiting the day we will be transformed and made like Him. In Jesus, we pray. Amen.

God bless,
Pastor Moose


Lenten - Holy Week Services
Join us throughout the season of Lent and Holy Week as we journey together in reflection, repentance, and renewal. Lent is a time of spiritual preparation, leading us toward the joy of Easter through prayer, worship, and reflection on Christ’s sacrifice.

Our Holy Week services invite you to walk through the final days of Jesus’ life, from His triumphant entry on Palm Sunday to the solemn remembrance of His passion on Good Friday. Through these meaningful services, we prepare our hearts to fully embrace the hope and victory of the resurrection on Easter Sunday. All are welcome to join us in this sacred season of faith.

🌿 Palm Sunday
Sunday, April 13 - Service starts at 10:45 AM
We will have a special Easter Choir to perform an anthem on Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. During this service, congregants typically receive palm branches, symbolizing the people's joyous reception of Christ as their King. The service often includes Scripture readings recounting Jesus' entry, as well as hymns of praise. In many traditions, the procession with palms serves as a visible reminder of Christ's kingship and the love he demonstrated through his sacrifice. As the service progresses, the mood shifts to reflect the upcoming passion of Christ, setting the tone for the solemn days leading to Good Friday and Easter.


✝️ Stations of the Cross
Friday, April 18, from 2 to 6:30 PM

Walk the path of Christ's final hours through the Stations of the Cross, a sacred journey of reflection and prayer. Each station invites us to pause, remember, and meditate on the suffering and love of Jesus as He carried the cross to Calvary. This meaningful experience offers a time for quiet contemplation and spiritual renewal during the Lenten season.


🕊️ Good Friday Service
Friday, April 18 - Service starts at 7:00 PM

Join us for a solemn and reflective Good Friday service as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Through Scripture readings, prayer, and music, we will journey through the final hours of Christ's life, reflecting on His love and redemption. This meaningful service invites us to pause, meditate, and prepare our hearts for the hope of Easter. All are welcome to attend as we come together in worship and reverence on this sacred day.
