Easter Worship on Georgia Ave. - 8:30AM, 8:45AM, and 11:00AM
Does anyone need a little more good news? Lately, it seems all I read is bad news. You may feel worried about the world and your own personal troubles, too. Easter Sunday is about good news. Come look for signs of new life in our children's drama, the butterfly release, and music by LifeSong Band, Choir and instrumentalists.
We will celebrate an adult baptism, an infant baptism, and new members at 11:00am! Easter reminds us that God is victorious over sin, evil, death and in the end, the word is LIFE! The word is JESUS!
Easter Sunrise Service at The Way - 7:00AM
The resurrected Jesus was first encountered in a garden early in the morning. Gather with The Way in the sanctuary of the outdoors for an interactive and beautiful time of song and celebration as we encounter the same risen Christ. We await your arrival with refreshments and surprises! (417 Randall Rd., North Augusta)
"Rising from Doubt to Faith - Easter Sunday (April 20, 2025)
John’s story of the resurrection reminds us of the mix of faith and doubt within the disciples. Peter and the other disciples didn’t understand the scripture, and Mary didn’t even recognize Jesus at first. Eventually, Jesus made it clear to Mary who he was, just as he appears to us amid our faith and doubt.
Prepare for worship by reading this weekend's Scripture passages: Acts 10:34-43 and John 20:1-19
