In times of temptation, misunderstanding, shame, suffering, grief, and celebration, What Does Jesus Do? This Lent, we will step into stories full of common human experiences and watch how Jesus responds. Come and see.

Welcome Guests on Easter
Door Greeter
Sunday, April 05 | 9 am or 11:15 am
Help us create a smooth and welcoming experience by greeting visitors on Easter Sunday as they enter church. You'll help direct guests, ensure easy access to the sanctuary, and make a great first impression! We are expecting many visitors to attend both services and looking for greeters throughout the church, similar to what we do for the Christmas concerts. Please consider giving a few minutes of your time to help us be extravagantly welcoming to all who comes to worship!
Parking
Sunday, April 05 | 9 am or 11:15 am
Help us create a smooth and welcoming experience by assisting with parking on Easter Sunday at either of the morning services (arriving one hour early). You'll help direct guests, ensure easy access to parking, and make a great first impression! Easter Sunday is one of the most exciting days of the year at Christ Church. We are expecting many visitors, and you can play a key role in making them feel at home—before they even walk through the doors.
Prayer Labyrinth
Prayer Labyrinth | Throughout Lent | Prayer Room
All are invited to come and walk the Prayer Labyrinth during Lent. The Labyrinth is a path of meditation, going at your own pace, quieting your mind, and directing your thoughts in prayer.
Pastor's Pick: Lenten Study
Tuesdays, February 24 - March 31 at 10 am OR
Wednesdays, February 25 - April 1 at 6 pm
Why Did Jesus Have to Die? explores the complex significance of Jesus' death, moving beyond simple transaction-based explanations to offer multiple New Testament perspectives (like sacrifice, ransom, victory, reconciliation) to help readers understand how the crucifixion transforms lives and reveals God's love, encouraging faith through deeper understanding rather than just a single theological answer.
