Holy Week Schedule 2021

With transmission rates and hospitalizations at acceptable levels, the Smart Opening Team and others engaged in a path forward, with options for varied comfort levels of worship, outline here the schedule for Holy Week worship. Live Stream worship will not include congregants in the Sanctuary. Reservations are required for worship options that include congregants worshipping in the Sanctuary. (All times MDT)

Volunteers are still needed for Easter worship; ushering or checking in worshippers. No prior experience necessary. If you are already registered for worship you can serve prior to the start of worship and then sit in the pew for worship. Click here and choose the Holy Week and Easter Volunteers to serve.
