Palm Sunday, April 2
On Palm Sunday we honor and celebrate Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. To fulfill the prophecies of old, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the donkey, as the people cheered, “Hosanna in the highest!” they placed palm branches in his path and waved palm branches to honor Him. Only Jesus knew what the rest of the week would bring . . .

Maundy Thursday, April 6
Maundy Thursday gets its name from the Latin word, “mandatum,” which is the root word of the English words, “mandate” and “command.” Jesus’ command on the night of his Last Supper with his disciples was: “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.”
–John 13:34 5:30-7 p.m. Dinner and Worship Around the Table with The Gathering, Friendship Hall-Mission Campus. The Gathering is our alternative worship experience at Village Church. We’ll gather around a table and remember the story that brings us here. This is a night that is best remembered as it was experienced - around a table with food and friends. We’ll eat dinner, and then sing, read, pray and extinguish the candles together. This service is appropriate for all people and all ages. Child care will be available (dinner isn’t served in child care, so kids will need to eat with families before going). CLICK HERE learn more and RSVP. 7 p.m. Traditional service in the Sanctuary, Mission & Antioch Campuses. We encourage our 7 p.m. worshipers to park in the north parking lot closest to the Sanctuary.
