Holy Saturday - Easter Carnival - Walk Through Jerusalem
2025-04-19 13:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
April 19, Holy Saturday, we will have an Easter Carnival on the back parking lot of the church. This will begin at 1:00 pm. It will have games, Moon Bounce, balloon animals, and face painting. At 2:00 pm, we will have a time of refreshments followed by the hunting for over 1000 stuffed Easter eggs. While the Carnival and Egg Hunt are going on, we will also have a Walk Through Jerusalem, an interactive experience highlighting the events of the last week of the life of Jesus.

Walk Through Jerusalem Event
2025-04-19 13:00 - 16:00
Take a moment and imagine what Holy Week in Jerusalem may have looked like. Envision the cheering crowds on Palm Sunday, their voices lifted in excitement and hope. Imagine the melody of crickets as you stroll through the Garden of Gethsemane. We can only wonder what the events leading up to the cross may have looked like, and this year we are going to present them as a Walk Through Jerusalem event. We invite you to join us as our tour guide leads us from Palm Sunday to the empty tomb. This interactive event will take place on April 19th, coinciding with the Easter Carnival.
Furthermore, we extend a call for volunteers to play the roles of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and other essential figures. We would love to have you be a part in sharing the greatest story ever told! All are welcome to attend. More details will follow in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions, please contact Grace McDonald.
