On April 5 we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We hope you will join in Christ Lutheran Church’s week of praise, worship, and preparation for Easter.
During these days bridging the preparation time of Lent and the paradox of Easter dying and rising, we encounter the deepest mysteries of our Christian faith. Alongside the disciples we experience Jesus’ mercy even as he is put to death, into the celebration of God’s eternal love.

Jesus is alive and death is swallowed up forever! Some of us may worship in person this week or view services from our homes or other locations via YouTube, but the Good News of the Savior’s death and resurrection comes to us all.
