Feast of the Resurrection
CoS’s celebration of the Holy Triduum will come to a glorious and joy-filled conclusion in Easter Sunday worship! The greatest of all Sundays in the Christian year, this Sunday launches the 50-day celebration of the Easter Season that begins on this first Sunday and continues through the Day of Pentecost. It is a season characterized by the joy of new life in Christ and victory over death.

Easter Vigil
On this most holy of nights in the Christian year, the church keeps watch, celebrating the resurrection of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Eucharist, and awaiting his return in glory. The Easter Vigil is the climactic turning point of the Triduum, the Passover of the new covenant, and marks our Lord’s passage from death to life in the resurrection. It is the liturgical summit of the Christian year.
This service will also be livestreamed via Facebook and YouTube.

Good Friday Worship
The passion and death of our Lord calls us to an earnest season of prayer and adoration of the holy cross of Christ. There are two opportunities for worship on Good Friday. These services will be identical in content and format (except the 12:00 service will include liturgy moments for children).
1) Daytime worship, 12:00 pm. Nursery care for those 4 and under is available and activity bags will be available for children remaining in the service.

Palm/Passion Sunday Worship
The hour is at hand. The time has come. Jesus makes his final entry into Jerusalem, welcomed with shouts of joy and praise, only to be betrayed, tried, and crucified a few days later. We remember and reflect on the culmination of Jesus’ ministry toward humanity and the enormous cost of salvation. Celebration, gratitude, and sorrow are intermingled as we journey with Jesus toward the cross.
Worship services are at 8:45 and 11:00 am. The 11:00 service will be livestreamed via Facebook and YouTube. Nursery care is available for both services.
For more information, contact the church office here.
Exploring Membership
Come explore membership at CoS! Membership is about belonging. Putting down roots in a particular part of Christ’s universal church is a way of following Jesus in mutuality with a specific community of faith. As one local expression of Christ’s worldwide church, CoS welcomes people into membership, enfolding and engaging followers of Christ in ministry and service to the world.
All are cordially invited to this informational half-day session in the fellowship hall. Refreshments and lunch provided. Childcare is available. Register here.
