Holy Week
We are so excited to celebrate Easter with you this year! We have a whole line-up of opportunities during Holy Week, on April 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th.
The mission? To connect you with each other, and to the incredible story of Christ's life, death, and his transformation of our lives. Keep scrolling for more information on each event!
IN OUR PLACE
2 Corinthians 5:21 - "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Holy Week Devotional
We've created a collection of incredible devotional excerpts for you to walk through from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. Each day has a distinct theme that is carried into 3 sections: An adult devotion, a child/family devotion, and a section for prayer or a liturgy, and meditation on scripture. Scroll the sample of the Day 1 devotional below!
We are so happy to provide this resource for you for free! Click the link to view and/or download and print at home.
HOLY THURSDAY
Join us for Holy Thursday Service at 6:00 PM on April 17th at Church at the Gates!
We want to share a potluck feast with you! We will be providing the main meat dish, communion, and dessert. This is the time to meet together, break bread, and celebrate! Please feel free to bring your whole family, and invite some friends.
If you are willing and able to bring a side to share to this event, or help us make this amazing dinner happen, head to the link below to sign up!
FELLOWSHIP
In the upper room, Jesus and His disciples ate and sang together. Worship, prayer, laughter, fellowship, and the first communion taken as a family.
GOOD FRIDAY
Good Friday Service at CATG at 6:00 PM on April 18th! Join us for an interactive and contemplative time in worship, prayer, and reflection.
CRUCIFIXION
Friday. The disciples look on or flee in horror. Everything has changed. What does it mean that Jesus had to die? How do we come before the Lord at our most broken? See the darkness that made the light both necessary, and more beautiful.
HOLY SATURDAY
We're doing something new this Holy Week - an entire 24 hours where our church building is filled and surrounded by brothers and sisters in prayer. From 8:00pm, after Good Friday service, to 8:00pm on Saturday, April 19th.
Sign up for a slot at Church at the Gates, or join us for a slot praying from home. We'll provide meaningful prompts that move from the inside out - prayer for yourself, our church, our city, and beyond.
Join us! We want to fill every spot - you can come alone, bring a friend, or bring your family. The building will be kept secure while you move through this quiet hour, and light refreshments will be provided.
SILENCE
Saturday. Christ lays in a tomb. Disciples weep in hiding; scattered, lost, prayerful, and unsure. The incredible movement that began with their Lord seems to have fallen apart. Where do we go when all hope is lost?
EASTER SUNDAY
Easter Sunday Services are at 9:00am & 10:45am!
We're so excited to celebrate with you! We'll have a photo backdrop for family pictures, coffee, tea, and joyful service! Kids Ministry is available for ages 0-5th Grade.
RESURRECTION
He is risen! Our salvation is secure, and the payment has been made! Christ took our place, took our penalty, and exchanged our stains for the purest righteousness we could never attain. We are only getting closer to the heart of God!
