Easter Sunday Service

Apr 5, 2026    Kathleen Loughrige, Shawn Loughrige

Join us for our Easter Celebration, with powerful worship and pastoral voices intertwined throughout the service. This Easter message invites us into a profound meditation on transformation: from death to life, from despair to hope, and from endings to new beginnings. At its heart is the story from Matthew 28:1-10, where Mary Magdalene and the other Mary make their grief-filled walk to Jesus's tomb, carrying the weight of everything they had witnessed and lost. What makes this passage so powerful is that these women were the first witnesses, the first apostles entrusted with the resurrection message. The stone wasn't rolled away so Jesus could escape, it was rolled away so we could see in and witness the empty tomb to understand that death has been defeated. As Colossians 3 reminds us, we have been raised to new life with Christ. We're not stuck in who we were—we're invited into who we're becoming.
