Lent & Easter Events at COGS

Maundy Thursday Service

Apr 17, 2025 5:30 PM

One day before the event we dread, and three days before the event we hope for, we focus on Maundy Thursday. Jesus' “new commandment” to his friends begins to reveal itself as a different kind of profound deliverance, a living, breathing gospel that can only be revealed between us, among us, and within us. As an experience you can’t get by being loved by some far away God up in the sky, or by being right, but only by learning to love others – and to be loved – right here on the ground...

Good Friday Service

Apr 18, 2025 12:00 Noon

We come together to mourn our sibling Christ, passing from this world to the next. We share in the sorrow of death and the unknown. We mourn with parents, and friends, with community and alone. Whether we are on the outskirts looking in or feel surrounded by a great Love, we will pass this way together.

 

Please join us as we keep vigil with Christ, reflecting on Jesus's sacrifice on Good Friday. ALL ARE WELCOME.

Easter Sunday Service

Apr 20, 2025 11:00AM

Please join us for a service featuring music from the Chancel Choir, Joyful Noise Bell Choir, and guest musicians as we celebrate the One who transformed death and who can and will certainly transform our lives. Jesus welcomes us on the journey to new life. No matter how many times our steps stray, we hide from hard things, or we betray the good news, God’s grace meets us with an unfailing love to guide us on the path of life abundant and everlasting. Receive the resurrection power of the One who was and is and is to come.
