Join us for Holy Week at LCC!

Easter is on the way! Join us during a busy Holy week starting Sunday April 13th, for Palm Sunday and an Easter Egg Hunt after Church. On Thursday, we’ll celebrate First Communion for our younger members while we remember Jesus at the Last Supper. On solemn Good Friday, we come together to remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross and begin the wait until Sunday morning when he rose from the tomb. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your faith and connect with our community. Whether you’re new to LCC or a long time member, we wholeheartedly invite you to bring your family and friends to experience the joy and hope of this sacred season together and utter the words….”HE IS RISEN!, HE IS RISEN INDEED!”
