We are an intergenerational church seeking Jesus together and shining His light from this hill. We aspire to be welcoming, growing and serving.
The LPPC Weekly for March 29, 2026
Hol Wee
Maundy Thursday
This 7:00pm worship service is a Tenebrae Service. “Tenebrae” is the Latin word for “shadows”. A series of scripture readings describing Jesus’ suffering and crucifixion will follow communion. After each reading, a candle is extinguished, until eventually the service ends in darkness. This service will be live-streamed. Childcare is not available.
Good Friday Prayer Stations
On Friday, stop by the church any time between 11:00am and 7:00pm to walk through our Good Friday Prayer Stations in Williams Hall. You will receive a instructions and a printed guide before you begin. Each prayer station consists of a time of reflection on part of Holy Week, a tactile or participatory element, and a suggestion for prayer. Walking through the stations will take 30-45 minutes depending on your pace. People of all ages, including children, are invited to participate.
Easter Services
We hope that you can celebrate the resurrection of Christ with us! We will have services at 9:00am and 11:00am. The sanctuary will be decorated with spring flowers and the booklet of flower dedications will be distributed. Nursery care for children age 3 and under will be available during both services. Children age 41st grade will be dismissed for Children’s Church following the Children’s Sermon. Both services will be live-streamed.
