the Village Church
Throughout Lent, we have followed the story of God’s covenants—from Eden through Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David—discovering the promises God made to bring life, blessing, and restoration. On Palm Sunday, we see Jesus enter Jerusalem as the fulfillment of every covenant promise.
On Good Friday, we will pause to remember the cross, where Jesus gave his life and the new covenant was sealed in his blood. Then on Easter, we will gather to celebrate the victory of the resurrection, where God’s promises are fulfilled—sin is forgiven, death is defeated, and new life is offered to all through Christ.
Join us as we move from the solemn reflection of Good Friday to the joyful celebration of Easter, trusting in the steadfast love of God that carries us from Eden to the empty tomb.
