Holy Week

Last year we tried something a little different at Warren's Grove. We decided to have services every night of Holy Week. Holy Week is the week leading up to Easter. It starts on Palm Sunday and then ends on Easter Sunday. They are typically called: Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. I was really excited about making this a part of our worship services last year, and I was pleasantly surprised at how many other folks got so much out of it. These are shorter services and communion is served at each service [except Good Friday and Holy Saturday]. I would encourage you to bring your whole family out to come and remember the passion of Jesus as we all journey with him to Golgotha. Below is the list of the services and you can find Warren's Grove by clicking on this link. On Sunday, April 17th at 8:45am & 11am we will have our Palm Sunday Service.
Monday, April 18th at 7pm we will have our foot washing service, communion will be served.
